Iran's security chief says if the US attacks, it will also hit US military bases in Europe

Iran's security chief, Mohsen Rezai, secretary-general of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), warned on the 11th (local time) that if his country is attacked, retaliatory strikes could be carried out to US military bases in Europe.

According to Iran's state-run IRIB broadcaster, Secretary-General Rezai said, "If the enemies attempt a new attack on Iran, even according to their own calculations, the war will not last more than four to five days."

He warned, "If the United States makes the mistake of attacking Kuh Kolang (an underground nuclear facility near the Natanz nuclear facility in central Iran, also known as 'Pickaxe Mountain'), we will target not only nearby U.S. bases but also all distant U.S. military bases. Some U.S. bases in European countries could also become targets."

In particular, he emphasized, "We will regard all locations where US military aircraft take off as a threat to us," and added, "We are making this clear now so that they will not be able to make any excuses in the future."

He also showed off Iran's military achievements and claimed, "We successfully captured seven American drones and two submarines."

Regarding diplomatic and regional security issues, he also showed off his close relationship with Russia.

Secretary-General Rezai said, “Russian President Vladimir Putin told me that he emphasized to the United States that the Islamic Republic of Iran is not a regime that can be overthrown.”

In addition, he hinted at an independent security cooperation plan in the Middle East region and added, "We have firmly resolved to create a coalition comprised of eight countries bordering the Gulf Sea (Persian Gulf)."
