Iran threatens American bases in Europe: “Any further U.S. attacks will also be met with strikes on American bases located far away”

Iran has warned the United States that American military bases in Europe, including those in Romania, could be attacked if they are used for operations against Iranian territory. The statement was made on Wednesday by Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council in Tehran, in an interview with the Lebanese broadcaster Al Mayadeen, as cited by AFP.

Rezaei argued that any base from which American aircraft took off to bomb Iran would become a target, regardless of its distance from the Middle East. The warning comes amid a tense regional context, in which negotiations between Washington and Tehran are deadlocked.

Last week, the Iranian publication Kayhan included American bases in Romania, the United Kingdom, Italy, Greece, Albania, and Cyprus among the possible targets in the event of a new conflict between Iran and the United States.

The Iranian official specified that, at present, there is no official dialogue between the two governments. Tehran is making the resumption of talks conditional on the fulfillment of seven requirements and refuses to give up the enriched uranium located on its territory.

According to IAEA estimates, before the Israeli and American attacks in June 2025, Iran possessed approximately 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%. It is not known how much of this stockpile remained intact. Tehran rejects accusations that it is pursuing the development of a nuclear weapon.
