Iran warns again that it could attack U.S. military bases in Europe, Indian Ocean (Diego Garcia)

Iran’s Armed Forces could strike U.S. military installations located on European soil if Washington launches a new act of aggression against the Islamic Republic, General Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, warned on November 11.

In an exclusive interview with the Al Mayadeen network, the senior official indicated that any potential miscalculation by the U.S. would trigger a response far broader in scope than previous ones, extending to "U.S. military bases located in distant areas", locations that have not been targeted by Iranian retaliation thus far.

"We could strike certain islands that they believe are beyond the reach of our missiles. We could even target U.S. military bases in European countries; if American aircraft take off from those bases and head toward Iran to carry out a bombing, we will strike that base as well," he asserted.

Rezaei emphasized that his country's offensive and defensive capabilities are currently "far greater than they were on the first day of the war." He further claimed that Iranian forces had managed to engage military aircraft and shoot down nearly 200 drones, in addition to capturing seven unmanned aerial vehicles, intact, as well as two advanced U.S. submarines.
