The Revolutionary Guard following strikes on Iranian Universities:

Israeli and American universities in the region have become targets for a retaliatory response from Iran.

We advise all staff, professors, and students at American universities in the region, as well as residents of the surrounding areas, to stay one kilometer away from these universities to protect their lives.

Public Relations of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warns universities linked to Israel & the US in West Asia now 'legitimate targets'

“Warning to the criminal rulers of the United States: American-Zionist forces have repeatedly targeted Iranian universities with bombardment, including the Iran University of Science and Technology.

The reckless rulers of the White House should know that from now on, all universities of the occupying regime and American universities in West Asia will be considered legitimate targets until two universities are struck in retaliation for the destruction of Iranian universities.

We advise all staff, professors, students of American universities in the region, and residents nearby, to stay at least one kilometer away from these universities to ensure their safety.

If the US government wants its universities in the region to be spared beyond the two retaliatory strikes, it must, by no later than 12:00 PM Tehran time on Monday, March 30, issue an official statement condemning the bombing of universities. If it also wants its universities to remain unharmed afterward, it must restrain its allied forces from attacking universities and research centers; otherwise, the threat will remain valid and will be carried out.”

Yemen's Houthi group claims ballistic missile attack on Israel

SANAA/JERUSALEM, March 28 (Xinhua) -- Yemen's Houthi armed forces said on Saturday that they had launched a barrage of ballistic missiles toward southern Israel.

This marked the group's first such attack since Israel and the United States started massive attacks on Iran a month ago.

In a statement, the Houthi group said the operation was launched "in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the resistance fronts in Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine."

A few hours ago, the Israel Defense Forces announced that the Israeli air defense systems successfully intercepted a missile fired from Yemen toward Israel.

The launch from Yemen set off air defense sirens in large areas of southern Israel, sending thousands rushing to shelters, with no casualties reported.

On Friday night, Yemen's Houthi group warned it may intervene militarily if regional tensions keep escalating, especially if the Red Sea is used for operations against Iran.

Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said the group is prepared to respond if additional forces join the U.S. and Israeli forces.

On Thursday, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of the group, said his group stands ready to take military action if developments in the Middle East conflict warrant it, while reiterating strong ties with Iran. ■
