According to a report by Al-Jazeera, a senior official in Tehran has warned that intelligence reports suggest that “Iran’s enemies” are planning to occupy an Iranian island with support from an unnamed country in the region.
Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said on Wednesday that any such attempt would be met with targeted attacks on the “vital infrastructure” of the regional country – which he did not name – that assists in the operation.
