Warning to USA: Iran threatens attacks on US bases also in Europe

Iranian officials have warned the US against launching new attacks on the Islamic Republic. Mohsen Resai, secretary-general of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, stated that any military base involved in an aggression against Iran, from West Asia to Europe, would be a legitimate target for Iranian retaliation. Iranian Parliament speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf said his country is determined to move beyond the current state of "neither war nor peace" through deterrence, and that a US-Iran agreement is possible if the US meets seven conditions, including ending hostilities and lifting sanctions.

The US military has meanwhile pledged to keep the Strait of Hormuz open to trade and enforce a naval blockade against Iran.
