Iranian press review: Newspapers warn of war reaching ‘heart of Europe’
Iranian newspapers linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard have warned that US-used military bases across Europe could become targets if the war with Iran expands. The warnings matter because they signal a widening of the conflict’s stated geographical reach, amid speculation about renewed US involvement.
Hamshahri marked bases in eight countries, including the UK, Germany and France, as potential targets, while Kayhan said the battle could reach Europe if the US rejected Iran’s terms for peace. Khabar Online cautioned that US midterm election results alone might not halt military action, citing the Iraq war after the 2006 elections. The article also reports Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy’s view that Israel’s war aims included destabilising and fragmenting Iran; the supplied text ends partway through his comments.
In short
- Iranian papers warned US-used bases in eight European countries could be targets.
- Kayhan said the conflict could reach Europe if US peace terms were rejected.
- Khabar Online said election results may not stop military operations.
