Tehran will strike US bases in Europe if used to attack Iran, security chief says
Verified: 6 outlets in 6 countries have reported this story since Nov 11.
Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei said Wednesday that Tehran would attack US bases located in Europe if they were used to carry out bombing raids against the Islamic republic. The heavy defeat of US President Donald Trump's Republican Party in the midterm elections earlier this month seems to have pushed Washington to pull back its threats to carry out fresh strikes against Iran.
