Iran has declared the residences of US and Israeli officials in the Middle East as legitimate targets. The announcement was made by Iranian military spokesperson Ebrahim Zulfaqari, who said the move was a response to attacks on residential areas in several Iranian cities.

In a message posted on social media platform X, Zulfaqari stated that Iran would strike the homes of US and Israeli officials in retaliation for assaults on civilian and residential sites within Iran. In a separate video message, he described the planned response as an answer to what he called terrorist acts by the United States and Israel.

According to Iranian claims, recent conflicts have targeted residential buildings in major Iranian cities. As a result, the country’s armed forces now consider the residences of military and political figures from opposing sides as potential targets.
