Iranian intelligence sets sights on US military bases in Germany, reports

Berlin is under scrutiny as Iranian intelligence services reportedly target US military bases in Germany, according to WirtschaftsWoche. Ramstein and Spangdahlem air bases have come under particular focus due to concerns over covert attacks related to the Iran conflict. Israel had previously warned US and German partners about the potential threat three weeks ago, with the attention centered on bases supporting American operations and logistics associated with the conflict against Iran, as per unnamed Western intelligence officials.

The Iranian and Israeli embassies in Berlin have not yet commented on the matter. The US European Command, however, remains vigilant, stating that they continuously assess the security environment across the European theater. They declined to discuss specific threat reporting or force protection measures, citing the inappropriateness of such discussions.

It is reported that Germany has been closely monitoring increased Iranian activity for weeks, though this detail was not specifically mentioned in the WirtschaftsWoche article. The US revealed on Monday that a threat linked to Iran had led to the removal of American B-1 bombers from the British air base RAF Fairford.
