Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei has warned that Tehran will strike US bases in Europe if they are used to launch bombing raids on Iran. Rezaei, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, made the remarks in an interview with the Lebanon-based network Al Mayadeen.
Iran Warns It Could Target US Bases in Europe
The warning is conditional and applies only if US aircraft or forces use European or other distant installations to attack Iranian territory. Rezaei said any response to a renewed offensive would reach locations previously outside direct strikes, and that no site would be treated as out of reach.
Parliamentary Echoes and Wider Context
Members of the national security committee in Iran’s parliament suggested that facilities in countries such as Italy and Germany could face consequences if used to support US military action. The remarks add pressure on European governments that host American forces.
The warning follows months of military and diplomatic friction since the initial US-Israeli strikes earlier this year. It also came after the US midterm elections and comments from Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicating that immediate strike threats were tapering down.
Pakistan’s Case for Diplomacy and Restraint
Pakistan has kept channels open with both Tehran and Washington, as shown in Pakistan Army Chief Meets Iran’s President To Advance US-Iran Mediation Efforts. That record gives Islamabad credibility when it urges restraint and patient talks.
A wider conflict would hit energy prices, shipping and regional stability, all of which matter to Pakistan’s economy. A phased arrangement covering maritime access, sanctions and nuclear limits, backed by regular contact among mediators, offers the clearest path away from escalation.
