TREE NEWS update: Iran’s Supreme National Security Council secretary Rezaei said on November 11 that if the US launches an attack on Iran, Tehran’s retaliation would not be limited to nearby US bases but would also target all remote American military facilities. He warned countries hosting US bases not to cooperate with any US aggression, saying any site from which US warplanes take off would be treated as a threat. Rezaei also said Iran is determined to build a coalition of eight Persian Gulf states covering economic and security cooperation.
Iran warns it will strike remote US bases if attacked
The explicit extension of retaliation to "remote" US facilities broadens the conflict map well beyond the Gulf, putting host countries in Asia, Europe and elsewhere on notice that basing rights could carry direct risk. The simultaneous push for an eight-state Gulf coalition covering economic and security cooperation suggests Tehran is trying to convert military deterrence into regional political alignment. The open question is whether Gulf capitals see that coalition as a buffer or as a liability that draws them closer to Washington.
