If US attacks, Iran says it will strike US bases in the region

Iran warns of retaliation against US military bases in the Middle East if attacked, excluding host countries, citing past missile strikes as precedent.

  • On Feb 7, Iran warned it would strike US bases in the Middle East if attacked by American forces massed in the region, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told Qatari Al Jazeera.
  • Tehran and Washington pledged to continue indirect talks after positive discussions in Oman on Feb 6, while Abbas Araqchi warned against widening the talks and said dialogue needs refraining from threats and pressure.
  • Last June, after US bombing Iranian nuclear facilities, Iran responded with a missile attack on a US base in Qatar, and Araqchi warned similar consequences could follow if attacked again.
  • Araqchi framed Iran's response as limited to US bases, stating it would not attack neighboring countries or American soil but would target US bases in the region.
  • Iran warned it would target US bases in the Middle East if attacked, as Araqchi said `We and Washington believe it should be held soon`.
