Iran MP, 'if the US attacks us from Europe we will hit their bases, even in Italy'

If America uses its bases in Europe, including those in Italy and Germany, Iranian missiles will be launched towards Europe, Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani, a member of the Iranian parliament's national security committee, told Euronews. State media in Tehran have reportedly warned that any new confrontation with the United States could spread to hit "the heart of Europe", after Mojtaba Khamenei gave orders on Saturday for an "unrestricted geographical" response to any enemy threat. "In the two previous conflicts we did not do this, but this time we will not let the support provided by Europe to America for an attack against Iran go without consequences," Ardestani added.

Today, the Pasdaran have released a note in which they promise "an immediate and effective response, without geographical limits, to any level and type of threat", referring to the orders of Mojtaba Khamenei who asked to update the Iranian "list of objectives" after having ordered a "military response without geographical limits" to the threats in recent days.

Asked about the possibility that Europe was entering a new phase of war with Iran, Ardestani argued that European countries were already at war with Iran during the previous phase, having allowed the use of their bases. He further said that Iran will strike any bases deployed against it and will also target "tangible and intangible assets of countries that support America."

Another member of the commission, Fada Hossein Maleki, said that Iran has prepared a new approach and a new scenario for a possible conflict, which he said will take both the United States and European countries by surprise.
