Iranian Military Officials Threaten Trump and US Bases Around the World

Iranian military officials have issued threats against US President Donald Trump and warned that American military bases around the world could face attacks if the United States launches another military operation against Iran. The statements have added to growing tensions between Washington and Tehran amid continued uncertainty over the possibility of renewed military confrontation.

According to a report published by Iran International on November 12, Iranian military deputy chief of staff Kioumars Heydari made threatening remarks against Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during an interview broadcast on Iranian state television. Heydari reportedly said that Iranian forces would continue pursuing the two leaders as long as they remained alive.

Mohammad Reza Naghdi, a senior adviser to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), warned that any new military action by the United States or Israel would not necessarily remain limited to the Middle East. He suggested that American military facilities in different parts of the world could become potential targets if the conflict escalated. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council, also issued a warning concerning US military bases in Europe.

In an interview with Lebanon-based Al Mayadeen, Rezaei reportedly said that if American aircraft used European bases to launch attacks against Iran, those facilities could also face Iranian retaliation. He also referred to the possibility of targeting certain distant islands, although the specific locations and Iran’s ability to carry out such attacks were not independently established.

The threats have raised questions about the potential geographical expansion of any future conflict between Iran and the United States. concerns about the security of senior American officials have also been reported. CBS News reported on November 11 that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had been moved from his home to a military installation amid security concerns linked to Iranian threats. The latest developments come as President Trump continues to weigh his administration’s options regarding Iran.

A Reuters report published on November 14 said Trump was considering holding back from another attack on Iran if Tehran or Yemen’s Houthi movement did not carry out further provocations. The situation remains uncertain as both sides continue to issue warnings. However, the statements made by Iranian officials represent threats, not confirmation that new attacks have taken place against American military bases.
