An Iranian official has threatened strikes on US bases in Europe if Donald Trump launches new strikes against Iran.
Speaking to Al Mayadeen, a Beirut-based news channel with links to Hezbollah, Iranian Security Council secretary Mohsen Rezaei said that any base which American aircrafts take off from are at risk of being attacked, according to Iran International.
“If the Americans make a mistake and attack us, we will not limit ourselves to nearby bases,” said Rezaei.
“We may even target some American military bases in European countries.”
This statement comes as Donald Trump said future strikes on Iran are “unlikely” after his disastrous defeat in the midterms was blamed on the conflict.
