Iranian intelligence services are reportedly targeting American military facilities in Germany, including Ramstein and Spangdahlem air bases, amid concerns of potential covert attacks linked to the conflict with Iran, according to a report by WirtschaftsWoche. Israel alerted its US and German partners three weeks ago to this potential threat, focusing on bases that support American military operations and logistics related to the ongoing conflict. The report cited several anonymous Western intelligence sources. Neither the Iranian nor the Israeli embassies in Berlin immediately responded to requests for comment. The German Ministry of Defense declined to comment, and a spokesperson for the US European Command stated that it is inappropriate to discuss intelligence matters and that they do not comment on specific threat reports or force protection measures. The spokesperson added that the US European Command remains vigilant and continuously assesses the security environment in Europe. A source told Reuters that Germany has been monitoring increased Iranian activity for weeks, without specifically addressing the WirtschaftsWoche report. Separately, the US announced on Monday that an Iran-related threat prompted the removal of American B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford in the UK.
