Warnung an USA: Iran droht mit Angriffen auf US-Stützpunkte auch in Europa

Iran has warned the United States of impending attacks on US bases, including those in Europe. Mohsen Resai, the Secretary-General of Iran's Security Council, made this threat on the social media platform X, stating that every military base involved in aggression against Iran, from West Asia to Europe, would be a legitimate target for deadly Iranian strikes. He emphasized that there would be no safe refuge, sanctuary, or immunity.

In a recent statement, US President Donald Trump declared the military conflict with Iran to be "effectively over" and maintained the status quo, largely due to pressure from neighboring countries. However, Iran's parliamentary speaker, Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf, told Al Jazeera that his country is determined to break the "neither war nor peace" situation, which does not necessarily mean negotiations, but rather enduring deterrence.

Ghalibaf reiterated seven conditions that the US must meet for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and engage in talks. These include ceasing all military operations against Iran and its allies in the region, ending the sea blockade against Iranian ports and ships, lifting sanctions and the ban on oil exports, and releasing frozen Iranian assets.

The US military's regional command reported that American forces are continuing to work around the clock to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for trade and strictly enforce the "iron blockade" against Iran. This comes after Israel and the US launched a war against Iran in late February. In response, Iranian forces have been using threats and attacks to effectively block the Strait of Hormuz for several months.

The US Navy has been attempting to allow maritime trade with oil and liquefied natural gas through the strait by providing escort for civilian ships.
