'We are searching for them!' - Iranian military spox urges US expulsion for regional safety

"Spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Ebrahim Zolfaghari, warned regional countries to evict US forces, who he claims are now hiding outside their destroyed bases, stating that their continued presence poses a direct threat to the security of neighbouring nations. "Considering that all American bases in the region have been eliminated, American commanders and soldiers have fled and taken refuge in hideouts outside the bases, and we are searching for them," declared Zolfaghari. "We ask the people of the countries in the region to report their hiding places and, at the same time, demand the expulsion of Americans from the region for their own security," he said. His remarks came after Trump said talks were underway with Iran on a 15-point agreement to end the conflict, a claim Tehran has denied. The escalation follows joint military operations by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28, carried out during ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at limiting Tehran’s nuclear and missile programmes. Tehran has since launched retaliatory strikes targeting Israeli territory and US military assets across the region, with explosions reported in several Gulf countries. Iran later confirmed the killing of its Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, after which his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, assumed leadership. The conflict has expanded to include Hezbollah in Lebanon, while disruptions to shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, have pushed oil prices above $100 per barrel, increasing pressure on global markets."
