The Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Major General Ali Abdulahi, announced that Iran is monitoring the American-Israeli movements and preparations, and that Iran will launch an attack as soon as indications of "hostile action" against Iran are confirmed, without waiting for an attack against Iran. Major General Abdulahi also announced that the strikes would be without geographic limitations, suggesting that strikes against US bases beyond West Asia are on the cards.
