Hossein Shariatmadari, editor-in-chief of Iran's hardline Kayhan newspaper, warned that Iran could target European countries if they allow the United States to use their military bases. The statement escalates tensions amid the ongoing Iran-US-Israel conflict. Iran has already struck a UK base in Cyprus and US-linked facilities in the Gulf. Greece and Bulgaria, hosting US or NATO infrastructure, fall within range of Iran's missiles. European governments are boosting security measures.
