April 7, according to a report by Reuters citing an unnamed senior Iranian official, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ordered the country's armed forces to enter a state of high alert.
Iran has also informed Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, Turkey and Bahrain that any support provided for a U.S. air strike on Iran, including providing bases or opening its airspace, will be considered a hostile act and will result in "serious consequences".
Hossein Salami, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said: Iran is prepared for any war, but it will not start one.
The enemies of Iran, especially Israel, are within its range. Despite U.S. support, Iran knows how to defeat Israel and has accumulated the strength that can be used now.
