Iran is seriously considering launching missile attacks against European countries, according to a member of the Iranian parliament's national security committee, Hashem Ardestani. He stated that Iranian missiles would be directed at Europe if the United States utilizes its military bases there, specifically mentioning facilities in Italy and Germany. Ardestani warned that Iran would not let European support for American attacks on Iran go unanswered, unlike in previous conflicts. He added that Iran would strike any base used against it, as well as the "material and intangible assets" of nations aiding the U.S.
State media also issued a warning on Wednesday, suggesting that a renewed confrontation with the U.S. could escalate to "the very heart of Europe." Another parliamentary committee member, Fada Hossein Maleki, indicated that Iran has prepared a new strategy and action scenario for a potential conflict resumption, which he believes will surprise both the U.S. and European nations.
Earlier reports noted that renewed U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran could cause significant turmoil in the global energy market and lead to a sharp rise in fuel prices. These reports also suggested that even a large-scale military operation might not necessarily eliminate Iran's nuclear capabilities or lead to a regime change in Tehran.
