Israel's accession to the U.S. Central Command of the Armed Forces (CENTCOM) could pose threats to Iran, Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, noted, Mehr reported.

In recent months, the U.S. terrorist army has been trying to fill the empty space in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman by connecting the Zionist regime to CENTCOM. This can create threats for Iran, he added.

He said Iran, through the foreign ministry, has warned countries in the region about the deployment of the U.S. army.
