Iran Declares US Bases ‘Legitimate Targets’

Revolutionary Guards vow continued missile strikes against American and Israeli assets

February 28, 2026: Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have warned that all US military bases, assets and interests in the region are now considered legitimate targets. In an official statement, the force said it had launched missile strikes against Israeli and American bases, describing the action as part of a broader retaliatory campaign.

The Guards asserted that operations would continue until their adversaries are “decisively defeated,” signalling a potential widening of the conflict. The warning raises concerns for US personnel and installations spread across West Asia, as tensions escalate sharply amid ongoing hostilities involving Israel.

The development comes amid heightened regional instability, with both sides exchanging threats and strikes. Security analysts warn that direct targeting of US bases could significantly expand the scope of the confrontation and draw additional actors into the conflict.
