Iranian Security Council secretary Mohsen Rezaei warned that Iran could target U.S. military bases in Europe if aircraft operating from them attack Iran.
Iran International reported that Rezaei made the remarks in an interview with Beirut-based broadcaster Al Mayadeen. He said a future response would not stop at installations close to Iran.
Rezaei linked the warning to bases used by U.S. aircraft but did not identify a country or installation. “We may even target some American military bases in European countries,” he said.
Separately, The Independent reported, citing the BBC, that President Donald Trump described further strikes as “unlikely” while saying the United States was “locked and loaded” if circumstances changed.
Iranian lawmaker Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani had previously warned that a U.S. attack launched from European bases could prompt missile strikes toward Europe, naming Italy and Germany. EconoTimes covered Ardestani’s earlier warning about European bases.
