Iran has threatened American bases in Europe with strikes

Mohsen Rezai, head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, threatened strikes on U.S. military bases in Europe if used for attacks on Iran. He stated that any U.S. aircraft launching from these bases would be targeted. Rezai also mentioned that Iran's response to U.S. attacks could extend to distant military facilities, including those previously untouched. Diplomatic efforts are ongoing to resolve the conflict, with Iran demanding the lifting of asset freezes and sanctions in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated no need for further attacks on Iran, citing successful efforts to weaken its economy. Recent U.S. military strikes targeted an Iranian air defense system, marking a significant escalation amid political repercussions for the Republican Party.
