## Key points

- Iran threatened US bases in Europe if used to attack Iran.
- Rezaei also warned of strikes on distant installations and islands.
- Diplomacy continues as Tehran links Hormuz reopening to concessions.

## Summary

Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei has threatened that Iran would strike US military bases outside the Middle East, including in Europe, if they were used to launch attacks on Iran. The warning signals a possible widening of the conflict and raises the stakes for countries hosting US forces.

Rezaei said Iran could also target more distant installations and islands it believes are within missile range, but did not name specific sites. The war began on 28 February with US-Israeli strikes that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei; Iran then attacked countries in the region hosting US military assets. Qatar and Pakistan are pursuing diplomacy, while Tehran has tied reopening the Strait of Hormuz to demands including sanctions relief and the release of frozen assets.
