Iran Weighs Strikes on US Targets in Europe if Trump Escalates War
Iran is considering strikes on US military assets in Europe if Washington escalates the war, as NATO warns it is prepared to address any threat.
Iran has reportedly contemplated targeting US military installations in southeastern Europe, including Bulgaria and Cyprus, should President Donald Trump escalate hostilities, potentially spreading the conflict beyond the Middle East, according to two Iranian government sources cited by the Financial Times. The prospect of such strikes emerged as Iran assessed the feasibility of attacking subsea fiber-optic cables in the Strait of Hormuz and as NATO prepared to respond to any potential threat.
However, ongoing talks aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and reviving negotiations towards a broader agreement have stalled, with the US signaling no ongoing dialogues with Tehran.
