Iran's security chief threatens US bases in Europe if they are used for attacks

Iran's security chief has threatened to strike US bases in Europe if they are used for attacks on Iran, according to Dawn. That goes further than his earlier warning, which referred only to more distant US bases.

Dawn also reports that the Iranian security chief said Trump and Netanyahu no longer have the capacity to keep the war going. That claim has not been independently checked.

Separately, Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, criticised Hegseth. Citing the IRNA news agency, Dawn reports that he called him an "ignorant war minister [who] was brought to his knees by Iranian commanders in battle".

Earlier, in an interview with Lebanon's Al Mayadeen TV, Rezaei said any new US attack would lead Iran to target American military bases. He also said Iran would not move enriched nuclear material out of the country.
