Iran Warns US Bases in Europe Could Be Targeted if Used Against Tehran
Iran's top security official, Mohsen Rezaei, has warned that if the US uses military bases in Europe or other distant regions to launch attacks on Iran, Tehran may retaliate by striking those bases. This threat extends beyond the Middle East, potentially targeting American installations and islands previously considered out of reach. Iran recently unveiled an underground missile facility showcasing ballistic and cruise missiles, emphasizing its strengthened defense capabilities amid ongoing tensions following US-Israeli strikes earlier this year. Diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the conflict continue without direct US-Iran talks.
