Mohammad Hassan Rezai, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, announced early Thursday morning Tehran time that if a new war occurs, Iranian forces will target any European military base involved in this attack.
Details of the Threat
Rezai stated in a message posted on platform X: "If the United States starts another war against Iran, any military base involved in this aggression, from West Asia to Europe, will be a legitimate target for Iran's deadly attacks." These remarks reflect Iran's seriousness in responding to any foreign threats.

Readiness of Iran's Armed Forces
Mohammad Reza Naqdi, a senior commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, also announced on Wednesday that the Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has ordered the armed forces to be prepared for operations in any geographical area deemed appropriate. These statements fuel concerns about the security situation in the region and the potential escalation of tensions.
These developments come as Iran is working to rebuild and expand its missile program. This program appears to be viewed as a key tool in Iran's defensive strategy against foreign threats, and officials in the country are determined to maintain and strengthen their military capabilities.
Possible Consequences
These threats could lead to increased tensions in the region and beyond. While the United States and its allies continue to monitor Iran's activities, reactions to these statements may impact international relations and heighten regional security tensions. Analysts believe this situation could lead to increased unrest in the Middle East and pose a threat to global peace.
Diplomatically, these statements from Iran, especially at a time when nuclear negotiations and regional diplomacy are underway, will have significant consequences. It seems that Iran is seeking to demonstrate its military power and resolve against any threats while still looking for ways to secure its interests on the international stage.
