An Iranian lawmaker has threatened that Tehran will launch missile attacks against American bases in Europe if the United States utilizes them for operations against Iran. Khoshayesh Ardastani, a member of the Iranian Parliament's National Security Committee, stated in an interview with Euronews that if the U.S. uses its bases in Europe, including those in Italy and Germany, Iran will target them with missiles. He asserted that while Iran refrained from such actions in past conflicts, it will not permit European assistance to the U.S. against Iran to go unanswered this time. Ardastani declared that any base used for operations against Iran would become a target, and Tehran would also strike the "material and non-material assets" of countries aiding the United States. These statements signal Iran's intent to broaden the conflict zone beyond the Middle East and potentially endanger European nations hosting American forces.
