Iran's security chief Mohsen Rezaei has issued a warning to strike US military bases in Europe if they are used for attacks against Iran. This threat follows US airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, which occurred over the weekend and were part of an operation named 'Midnight Hammer'. The strikes involved 125 US military aircraft targeting the Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan sites, significantly impacting Iran's nuclear capabilities. The US claims the operation has set back Iran's nuclear weapon development. Rezaei's comments indicate a potential escalation in the ongoing conflict between Iran and the US, which has intensified since the death of Iran's supreme leader in February. Diplomatic efforts are ongoing, but tensions remain high as Iran demands the unfreezing of assets and lifting of sanctions in exchange for negotiations.
