Iranian MP warns of missile strikes on Europe if US uses bases there
An Iranian member of parliament told Euronews that Tehran will target European countries hosting US military bases if Washington launches attacks from those locations. The warning comes amid escalating rhetoric following US strikes on Iranian territory and Iranian counter-threats against American assets and allies. Multiple Iranian outlets and officials have amplified the message, framing it as a deterrent against further US military action. European capitals have not issued public responses to the specific threat.
Why it matters
Tensions have risen sharply since late February when President Trump announced major combat operations against Iran. Supreme Leader Khamenei subsequently ordered expanded retaliation plans, and Iranian commanders have signaled readiness for wider conflict. The threat to strike Europe marks a significant geographical escalation, moving the potential theater beyond the Middle East.
