Iran's Rezaei threatens US military bases from Middle East to Europe: ‘No safe distance, no safe haven’

Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei has warned that US military bases from the Middle East to Europe could become legitimate targets if Washington starts another war against Iran. Rezaei tweeted on Wednesday that "NO SAFE DISTANCE. NO SAFE HAVEN. NO IMMUNITY." This statement does not confirm specific targets, but highlights the gravity of the potential retaliation.

Rezaei's warning comes amid ongoing tensions, with several developments indicating the conflict remains unresolved. Rezaei expanded the threat beyond neighboring countries, specifically mentioning potential attacks on European installations if US aircraft used them to launch attacks on Iran. He also claimed that Iran's military capabilities are now stronger than during the initial war, though he provided no evidence to back this up.

Meanwhile, US officials have shown reluctance to resume major attacks, citing the economic impact of American pressure on Iran. Diplomatic negotiations between the two nations are currently stalled, with Iran maintaining its stance on retaining its enriched uranium stockpile and refusing to transfer it abroad. While US bases under threat remain unclear, Kayhan, an Iranian hardline newspaper, previously identified several American and NATO-linked installations that could be exposed in a wider conflict.
