Iran warns European US bases could face strikes if involved in conflict
Iran's security chief warned that US bases in Europe could be targeted if used in attacks against Tehran, even as diplomatic discussions continue.
Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, warned that Tehran would target US military installations abroad, including those located in Europe, if they are utilized to launch strikes against Iran.
The explicit threat comes alongside broader diplomatic developments between Washington and Tehran. While US President Donald Trump highlighted "positive momentum" and noted that renewed military action remains "extremely unlikely" during ongoing negotiations mediated by Qatar, regional security concerns persist. Global energy markets reflected cautious optimism amidst the talks, with Brent crude stabilizing at $98.35 per barrel following its sharpest weekly decline since the pandemic.
