Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei has warned that U.S. military bases outside the Middle East, including those in Europe, could face retaliatory attacks if utilized for strikes against Iran. Speaking to Lebanon-based Al Mayadeen TV, Rezaei stated that Iran would target such bases if American aircraft, even stationed in distant regions like Europe, were to bomb Iran.
He further suggested that Iran might strike additional military installations, even those previously untargeted, and potentially islands perceived as outside the range of Iranian missiles. The recent Middle East conflict began on February 28 with U.S.-Israeli strikes that claimed the life of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In response, Iran launched missiles and drones at various targets across the region, and militant groups backed by Iran, in countries like Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq, also became involved. Diplomatic efforts continue to address the ongoing situation.
