The General Staff of the Armed Forces has given a "written warning" to countries hosting US troops.

Following recent clashes between the US Navy and the Revolutionary Guards, the Chief of Staff of the Islamic Republic's Armed Forces announced on Wednesday, September 6, that he had sent a "written warning" to the countries hosting the US military.

Referring to this written warning, Mohammad Bagheri said: "From our perspective, the spying (and even operational) capabilities of the United States and its allies" will also be available to Israel, and this will increase the threat to the Islamic Republic.

He did not elaborate further, but the Wall Street Journal last week published some details of the US Navy's cooperation with Israel, Saudi Arabia and several other Middle Eastern countries to create a network of unmanned vessels to curb the activities of the Islamic Republic.

The US Navy has said that it expects 100 small unmanned surveillance vessels from various countries to participate in the project by next summer, covering a vast area from the Suez Canal in Egypt to the coast of Iran.

According to the report, the information collected in this project will be sent to the Central Command in Bahrain, located at the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet.

The Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran said today that in addition to announcing and issuing a written warning and transmitting a message through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the countries hosting the US military, "we have and will continue to announce our readiness and warning by expanding our presence and deepening air and sea patrols, deepening intelligence intelligence, and conducting various naval, missile, and drone exercises, etc."

Earlier this week, for the second time in as many days, Iran seized and then released an American drone.

Earlier, on Tuesday of last week, the US military announced that a Revolutionary Guard ship in the Persian Gulf had seized one of these vessels and released it after the intervention of a ship and helicopter from the US Navy's Fifth Fleet.

A US official then told the Washington Post that cameras from US reconnaissance vessels seized by the Iranian military were missing.

The American official also added that the cameras, radar, and equipment on these vessels are not classified technology and can be purchased on the market, but recording and examining these cameras could lead to greater awareness by the Islamic Republic about the capabilities of their systems.

The unmanned vessel network project, which has been in existence for six months, is part of America's efforts to expand cooperation between Israel and the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, which was facilitated by the signing of the Abraham Accords.

The plan could symbolize another US-led effort to unite Israel and the region's Arab countries to create a regional air defense network.

In this context, the commander of the central headquarters of the "Khatam al-Anbiya" also said: "All mercenary elements, movements, and governments that cooperate with the Zionist regime to threaten the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay the cost of the actions."

According to Tasnim News Agency, Gholamali Rashid added that from the perspective of the headquarters under his command, Israel "is the top priority as a threat to the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran."

He stated in a gathering of army ground forces commanders: "From the perspective of the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, any threatening actions by Israel against Iran's national interests and security will be assessed based on information, coordination, and support from the United States, and the armed forces' response to them will be decisive and consistent."

The commander of the US Central Command, CENTCOM, said last year that from the perspective of the United States and its armed forces in the Middle East, "Iran is the most significant threat, or in other words, the most significant bad actor in the region," and that the US focus is on countering Iranian threats.

The Iranian government provides financial and military support to militia groups that are mainly active in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, and some countries in the region have named these groups as Iran's most important tool for increasing security threats in the region.
