Iran warns missiles could reach Europe if attacked

newsbomb.gr (Greek) —

Iranian lawmaker Manouchehr Mottaki warned that any new military attack on Iran could expand the war to Europe, stating Iranian missiles would reach the continent. The threat follows an order by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei for retaliation without geographic restrictions. Mottaki accused Britain, Italy, Portugal, and Germany of allowing US forces to use military bases on their territory for operations against Iran, claiming these countries share responsibility for American attacks. He provided no evidence to support these allegations. Khamenei's directive also calls for updating a list of potential targets to include US and Israeli facilities. The threats come amid Qatari-mediated diplomatic efforts, though Tehran and Washington maintain divergent positions on a possible agreement.
