A former senior Iranian official has warned that European cities could soon be within striking range, saying the West should no longer feel safe after Iran’s recent military confrontation with Israel.
“Europeans can no longer move about comfortably in their own countries,” said Mohammad Javad Larijani, a former top judiciary figure and adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, in remarks aired on state television Saturday.
“It’s entirely possible that in the near future, five drones could strike a European city,” he added, hinting at a potential shift in Iran’s response to Western pressure.
The warning comes as Iran faces mounting scrutiny over its nuclear program and growing tensions with Western powers, particularly in the wake of Israel’s alleged assassination attempt on President Masoud Pezeshkian.
