As tensions between Iran and Israel continue to intensify, Iranian military officials have issued a stark warning to the Israeli government and public.
In a statement by Iran’s state news agency, IRNA, Reza Sayyad, spokesperson for Iran’s Armed Forces, declared that Israeli territory could soon become “uninhabitable” if the conflict persists.
“Leave the occupied territories; they will not remain safe in the coming days,” Sayyad stated on Sunday, delivering the warning with severe and direct language.

He further cautioned that even underground bunkers would not guarantee safety against Iran’s escalating retaliatory strikes. Sayyad also accused Israeli leaders of using civilians as human shields and urged Israeli citizens not to be misled by what he described as the “criminal regime’s” tactics.
The current crisis began when Israel reportedly launched unprovoked airstrikes on several Iranian sites, including key military and nuclear facilities. In response, Iran carried out a series of retaliatory attacks targeting various locations within Israel.
In recent days, the tit-for-tat assaults have shown no signs of de-escalation, raising fears of a prolonged and expanded conflict.
Adding to the regional unease, senior Iranian commander Mohsen Rezaei, a member of Iran’s Expediency Council, issued a second statement warning Western powers to steer clear of the dispute.
“We might resort to broader actions that could destabilise the entire region,” Rezaei cautioned, making it clear that Iran will not tolerate foreign interference.
He urged U.S. and European leaders to avoid involvement, warning that continued engagement could provoke a more expansive and forceful Iranian response.
