Strategic affairs analyst Marandi warned publicly that any neighboring country allowing its territory to be used for attacks on Iran will be treated as a co-belligerent in the war.
Pragmatists view Marandi's warning as a significant escalation signal directed at Gulf states and Iraq, threatening to widen the conflict beyond a bilateral US-Iran confrontation.
