Iran threatens to strike U.S. bases in Europe if used

Iranian security official Mohsen Rezaei warned that Tehran would strike U.S. military bases, including those in Europe, if they are used to launch attacks on Iran. In an interview with Al Mayadeen TV aired on 11 November, he said U.S. aircraft taking off from bases in European countries or other distant territories to bomb Iran would make those bases targets. Rezaei also said Iran's response could reach farther U.S. military installations, even islands long regarded as beyond Tehran's missile range. The warning came as the war between Iran and the U.S. and Israel, which erupted on 28 February, remains unresolved, while talks to end the conflict are stalled by disputes over sanctions, frozen assets and arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz.
