US EditionIranian ambassador in Spain says Iran could Target US military bases across Europe
Iran warns it may strike U.S. bases in Europe if attacks continue, citing defensive motives and escalating tensions that prompt shifts in U.S. military deployments, officials said.
- On March 2, Reza Zabib, Iranian ambassador to Spain, said in Madrid that Iran could target US installations including Rota and Morón bases `if necessary` and claimed Tehran has the `capacity` to strike if tensions rise.
- Spain's government declared its bases would not support attacks on Iran, prompting US military aircraft to begin departing Rota and Morón bases with flight-tracking data showing at least 15 aircraft leaving.
- A larger European divide has emerged over military cooperation with the US, with the UK allowing use of British facilities for `defensive strikes` while diplomats in Madrid note Iran's media frames attacks as self-defence.
- Spain's Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares condemned recent US-led strikes and warned similar actions could apply to bases hosted by allied European countries, adding diplomatic urgency.
- Despite Tehran's warning, Western assessments show Iran's long-range arsenal suits regional conflicts, while recent missile and drone strikes targeted US bases in Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait.
