By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on La Nouvelle Tribune
Mohsen Rezaï, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, says Iran would strike distant US bases, including in Europe, in the event of a new US attack. He also rejects transferring enriched uranium out of Iran and denies negotiating with Washington, according to Al Mayadeen.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council secretary, Mohsen Rezaï, says Iran would strike US military installations far from its territory if the United States launched a new attack, notably targeting bases in Europe when their territory was used for operations against Iran. He spoke on 11 November in an interview with the Lebanese channel Al Mayadeen.
Mohsen Rezaï also says that Iran does not plan to export its enriched uranium and says it has informed Moscow of this. He also denies any negotiations with Washington, as Tehran awaits a US response to seven conditions presented to end the conflict.
The conflict between Iran and the United States has lasted since the end of February and more than 20 US bases have been hit in the Middle East, according to La Nouvelle Tribune. Mohsen Rezaï had already threatened in late September to target more heavily US air bases used for strikes against Iran. He was received in Moscow by Vladimir Putin on 5 November.
