Iran may target US assets in Europe if Trump escalates war: What are the potential targets? Report reveals...
Two regime insiders reportedly stated that Iranian forces have assessed potential strikes on US assets in southeastern European countries, including Bulgaria, which last month approved the use of its Bezmer air base by US refuelling aircraft.
Tehran is reportedly considering targeting US military assets in Europe if President Donald Trump escalates the ongoing war, according to sources close to the Iranian regime. The Financial Times disclosed potential targets for Iranian forces, including Bulgaria, Cyprus, and subsea fibre-optic cables in the Strait of Hormuz. These threats have emerged as Iran seeks options to escalate the conflict.
Talks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz have stalled, and Ayatollah Khamenei recently promoted hardliners to senior positions, signaling a more defiant stance in Tehran. While the potential for significant damage exists, experts suggest Iran's missile strikes on European targets would face limitations due to range constraints. The US has warned that it would respond aggressively to any attack on its infrastructure in the region.
