Iran will not hesitate to hit U.S. military bases in European countries if planes take off from them to attack Iranian territory, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic Mohsen Rezaei said.
He warned the U.S. administration against making the wrong move, saying in an interview with Al Mayadeen TV channel that "if the Americans make a mistake and attack," Iran "will strike not only at nearby bases," but also "at remote American bases." Rezaei said he was referring to "American military bases located in remote regions that have not yet been attacked."
"We can strike at some islands, which they think our missiles can't reach. We may even strike at some American military bases in European countries. If American planes take off from them and bomb Iran, we will strike at these bases. [Iran's] defensive and offensive capabilities are much greater now than they were on the first day of the war," Rezaei said.
According to him, Washington and Israel expect fighting to last from three to five days in the event of a new attack. However, don't know what goal they would be achieving by attacking.
