Iran threatens strikes on US bases in Europe if Trump launches new attacks

Iran has threatened to strike US military bases and other targets in Europe if President Donald Trump launches new military operations against the country, according to The Times. Potential targets include US facilities in Britain, Germany, Italy, and Portugal, as well as undersea internet cables. Western security officials doubt Iranian missiles can reach many European bases, but Tehran may use allied armed groups, criminal networks, cyberattacks, or terrorist operations. The US and Israel are preparing for possible attacks, with Washington boosting missile defenses and sending a third aircraft carrier to the Middle East. Qatar, Turkey, and Pakistan are mediating to restore a June ceasefire, while Tehran demands sanctions relief as a condition for talks.
