I think that they had made such a warning through diplomatic channels shortly after the attacks on their nuclear site last summer. (This from memory, based on a foreign affairs article or a WSJ article. It's been a few months. ) I doubt any of the Gulf States were surprised at that aspect of the Iranian response.

While I hope not, I suspect that your guess is correct.
