European countries that Iran could attack

Tehran has threatened to strike US military bases in Europe and other remote islands if the US attacks Iran again. The country's top security official said that any bases in countries where US troops are stationed would become a target for Iran if they were used in an attack on Iran.

Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, made the warning in an interview with Al-Mayadeen, a Hezbollah and pro-Tehran television channel based in Beirut, the Lebanese capital.

He said, "If the United States mistakenly attacks us, we will not limit the attacks to the bases around us. We may even attack US military bases in some European countries."

Rezaei also said, "Some islands may also be attacked that they think are beyond the range of our missiles." He advised countries where US troops are present not to cooperate with the US attack.
In his words, 'No matter where US warplanes take off from, we will consider it a threat against us.'

Rezaei also claimed that during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin, Putin told him that he had told the United States that the Islamic Republic of Iran was not a system that could be overthrown.

Iran's warning indicates that the country's potential attack targets are expanding. Rezaei said that Iran only targeted Israel during the 12-day war in June 2025. Then, in the war that began on February 28, Tehran attacked US bases across the Middle East. This time, the country's officials have also mentioned Europe in their warnings.

Last month, Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei ordered the armed forces to prepare for a counterattack without geographical limitations, according to a statement issued in his name.

An Iranian military spokesman also said that if a new war breaks out, it could spread "beyond West Asia." 

The country's hardline newspaper Kayhan has named US and NATO installations in Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Albania, Italy and the UK, as well as the joint US-UK military base of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, as potential targets for Iran.

However, there is uncertainty about whether Iran has the capability to strike these facilities. According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Iran's main ballistic missiles have a range of about 2,000 kilometers. Some versions may have a range of up to 3,000 kilometers.

The UK's Royal United Services Institute said it was theoretically possible to strike the UK. However, in this case, missiles with relatively smaller and less accurate warheads would have to reach the target by bypassing defenses.
