FT: Tehran suggests targeting US interests in Europe

The Financial Times, citing Iranian sources, reported that Iran has trained options to target American interests in Europe, especially in the southeastern part of the continent, in the event of escalating clashes with Washington. The plans reportedly include striking military bases such as Bizersim in Bulgaria and others in Cyprus, as well as targeting underwater fiber optic cables in the Strait of Hormuz if a significant escalation occurs. The sources confirmed that Iran possesses medium-range missile capabilities, such as the Shihab missiles, to attack these sites, and that it could respond without limits if its vital facilities are targeted. They also pointed out that the attack on a base in Jordan, which resulted in the deaths of three American soldiers, serves as evidence of Iran’s ability to carry out precise, long-range strikes. Additionally, the article noted that a shift in Iranian security leadership reflects a growing tendency to increase the costs of any confrontation with the West, amid diplomatic decline and rising doubts about achieving a permanent agreement.
