Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said Tehran would strike US bases, including those in Europe, if they were used to launch attacks against the Islamic Republic.
“If American aircraft take off from a US military base to bomb Iran, even if that base is in a European country or another distant region, we will strike those bases,” he said in an interview with the Lebanese television channel al-Mayadeen that aired on Wednesday.
Iran’s response to the latest US strikes “would target even the most distant US military facilities, including those we have not yet attacked,” he asserted, without elaborating.
“We could even strike some islands that they believe are beyond the range of our missiles,” Mohsen Rezaei added during the interview, which took place in Tehran, according to Agerpres.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday ruled out a major military operation against Iran, echoing Donald Trump’s remarks that a resumption of strikes was “unlikely”.
