US military bases in Europe also targeted, deterred by display of missile capabilities - Iranian official

[Cairo Current Affairs] In an interview broadcast by Lebanese media on the 11th, Director-General Rezai of Iran's Supreme Security Council, which oversees foreign affairs and defense, warned the Trump administration, saying, ``If American planes take off from U.S. military bases in Europe to bomb Iran, we will attack those bases.'' In order to avoid provoking Europe, Iran has imposed a voluntary limit on the range of its missiles to a maximum of 2,000 km, but the elite military organization the Revolutionary Guards announced on the 7th that it had lifted the limit.

Rezai emphasized that it would also target "distant U.S. military facilities that it has never attacked before" and "islands that are beyond [the U.S.'s assumed] missile range." The Trump administration, which was defeated in the midterm elections, is taking a cautious stance on attacking Iran again, and there appears to be a desire to increase coercion by involving Europe and gain an advantage in negotiations aimed at ending the hostilities.

Meanwhile, Iranian media reported on the 10th that the Revolutionary Guards unveiled a new underground "missile city". Missiles and launchers are deployed in a long tunnel-like facility. A spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards earlier explained that the production lines for missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles were quickly moved from above ground to underground.
