Sardar Bagheri, the Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces said Iran sent a message to the United States through the Swiss embassy warning Washington that if it cooperates with Israel in their possible next actions, US bases will "not have any security" and will be "dealt with."

Bagheri said from Iran's perspective, the military operation against Israel "has concluded."

However, he emphasized that Iranian armed forces remain on high alert and are prepared to "act if necessary," according to an interview on state IRINN TV on Sunday.

"If the Zionist regime responds, our next operation will be much bigger," Bagheri said.

The Zionist regime is an Iranian reference to Israel.

"Israel's actions in the consulate were condemned so a response should have been given," Bagheri added.

Some context: Iranian authorities have made clear this weekend's strikes where retaliation for an April 1 strike by Israel which destroyed an Iranian consulate building in the capital Damascus.

Israel has not claimed responsibility for the attack which Iran said killed multiple officials, including Mohammed Reza Zahedi, a top Revolutionary Guards commander.

However an Israel Defense Forces spokesman told CNN that their intelligence showed the building was not a consulate and was instead “a military building of Quds forces disguised as a civilian building.”
