Iran’s strike on a US base in Jordan last month, which killed three US service members, was a warning to Europe, this was Iran’s most accurate long-range attack.

The sources stated that Tehran thus demonstrated its ability to strike targets at long distances.

‘It was also a signal to Europe: it can receive missiles, so it should know whose side it is on in this war,’ one publication said.

The article notes that Iran is exploring the possibility of striking American military facilities in Europe if the US escalates.

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that the Iranian ballistic missile that struck the Muwaffaq Salti airbase in Jordan, killing American service members, hit the modular buildings where the military lived and slept. 

Bulgaria and Cyprus

Iran is considering strikes against American military facilities in Europe if the US escalates, according to media reports. Potential targets include airbases in Bulgaria and Cyprus. Iranian sources say Tehran’s response will depend on Washington’s actions.

Iran is considering striking American military facilities in Europe if the US escalates its war.

‘The Iranian military has analysed the possibility of striking American targets in southeastern European countries such as Bulgaria, which last month approved the use of its Bezmer air base for American tanker aircraft,’ the report said.

British Bases

According to one source, Cyprus, home to a British airbase, is also among the potential targets for retaliatory measures.

In July, Tehran warned London that if the US used British bases to strike Iran, they would also become legitimate targets.

Iran is also exploring the possibility of attacking undersea fiber optic cables in the Strait of Hormuz.

Cocked and loaded

According to sources, Tehran’s response will depend on Washington’s actions. Iran will not place ‘any restrictions’ on its response in the event of US aggression. 

‘If the US goes too far, Iran will defend itself at any cost, expand beyond the region, and strike Europe,’ the FT source emphasized.

On Tuesday, August 18, US President Donald Trump stated that there are currently ‘no ongoing or planned negotiations or discussions with the Islamic Republic.

Taking Trump’s War to the US

On August 16, The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran was preparing for a renewed conflict with the United States.

According to the newspaper, Tehran believes the current negotiations could be merely an interlude before conflict, and the previously concluded memorandum was likely an attempt by the United States and Israel to ease pressure on the global economy and buy time.

Iran’s Fight Back

As the publication notes, Tehran’s willingness to fight back indicates ‘deep mistrust that is likely to prevent the two sides from reaching a sustainable agreement to end the conflict quickly.’

Earlier, the Russian Embassy in Bulgaria reported that the local population fears the risks posed by the deployment of US Air Force tanker aircraft in the country.

The diplomatic mission reiterated that Tehran considers any activity that facilitates US attacks to be complicity in aggression against Iran. Let readers know what you think
