Iran could strike military bases involved in any renewed US offensive against the country, including bases in Europe, a senior Iranian security official warned Wednesday, according to Anadolu Agency.
Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, wrote on “X” that “every military base involved in the aggression” would be a legitimate target. He said the warning extended “from West Asia to Europe”.
“No safe distance. No safe haven. No immunity,” Rezaei wrote.
His warning followed remarks earlier Wednesday by Kioumars Heydari, deputy chief of the Iranian Armed Forces’ General Staff, who said Tehran was prepared to strike beyond the region if it came under attack again.
Heydari told Iranian broadcaster IRIB that US bases and interests were within range of Iranian missiles and drones. He said countries allowing aircraft to attack Iran from their territory could face retaliatory strikes.
Tensions between Tehran and Washington have persisted since a US and Israeli offensive against Iran began on Feb. 28.
Iran and the US remain at odds over how to implement a memorandum of understanding reached in Islamabad on June 18. Disputes over sanctions, the US naval blockade and security arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz have complicated efforts to end the war.
