Iran has threatened Romania over its support for the US.

“If Romania provides its bases to the US, we will respond with appropriate legal and political measures … Romania will certainly be considered a participant in military aggression against Iran, and this action is completely unacceptable under international law,” said the spokesperson of the Islamic regime's MFA.
