Iran Threatens Strikes on US Bases in Europe
Mohsen Rezaei said Iran would retaliate against distant American military sites if US aircraft launch attacks, as security tightens at British bases.
- On Wednesday, Supreme National Security Council Secretary General Mohsen Rezaei warned that if America attacks Iran, his forces could strike American military bases "particularly in European countries" and distant islands previously thought unreachable.
- Following credible intelligence warnings of potential Iranian attacks, the military increased security to Force Protection Condition Charlie at RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath, relocating aircraft including Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers and three Osprey aircraft.
- These UK-based installations support more than 5,000 active-duty American military personnel; Downing Street said the safety of British airbases was a "top priority" as officials moved assets following the threat assessment.
- In an interview with Al Mayadeen TV, Rezaei claimed Iran will not allow a "single speck" of enriched uranium to leave the country, rejecting American demands for a political settlement.
- President Donald Trump characterized the war as "militarily over" and said future strikes are "unlikely," yet Iran continues expanding missile production to about 50 monthly, complicating de-escalation efforts.
