U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) issued a safety warning to Iranian civilians on Sunday, accusing the Iranian regime of launching military operations from heavily populated areas. CENTCOM stated that Iranian forces are using cities like Dezful, Isfahan, and Shiraz to launch one-way attack drones and ballistic missiles. The warning urged civilians to remain at home, as locations used for military purposes could become legitimate targets under international law. According to CENTCOM, the Iranian regime is endangering its own citizens by attacking Gulf partners from these locations. CENTCOM emphasized that while U.S. forces take precautions to minimize civilian harm, they cannot guarantee safety near facilities used for military purposes by Iran.
