Press TV \u2013 Nov 11, 2026<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Iran\u2019s top security official has warned that any new US attack would trigger strikes on American military bases far beyond the region, including\u00a0targets in Europe and islands\u00a0previously thought to be outside\u00a0the range of Iranian missiles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Major General\u00a0Mohsen Rezaee, secretary of Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council, told Lebanon\u2019s Al-Mayadeen network in a recent interview that if the United States \u201cmakes a mistake and attacks us,\u201d Iran would not limit itself to nearby bases but would also hit \u201cdistant American bases\u201d it has not previously targeted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf American aircraft take off from a distant military base and come to bomb Iran, we will target that base as well,\u201d Rezaee\u00a0said, adding that Iran\u2019s defensive and offensive capabilities are now \u201cfar greater than on the first day of the war.\u201d<\/p>\n

He did not specify which bases or countries he was referring to.<\/p>\n

Rezaee\u00a0said if the United States and Israel had been able to bring down the Islamic Republic in the first days of launching the aggression, as they had declared and hoped they would, the war would not have reached the current dimensions affecting the entire world.<\/p>\n

No family in the US or Europe has been spared the fallout\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cToday there is no family in America or Europe that has not been harmed by the American attack on Iran, and no economic institution in the world\u2026 has not been affected by this attack. Even European leaders are speaking about this issue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He stressed this was the outcome of \u201cthe exceptional resistance of the Iranian people,\u201d who he said astonished the world by showing unprecedented steadfastness, and disrupted all US and Israeli calculations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Iranian people proved that America and Israel have made great historic mistakes \u2014 mistakes that will\u00a0go down in America\u2019s history for centuries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can say that in this war, we imposed a heavy defeat on the enemy that attacked Iran in the military, diplomatic, political and economic arenas,\u201d Rezaee said.<\/p>\n

Asked about the status of negotiations, Rezaee\u00a0said Iran has achieved \u201cgreat victories\u201d in diplomacy as well.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that Iran held three major diplomatic rounds with the Americans: the first before the 12-day war of last June, the second before the 40-day war early this year, and the third in Islamabad. In all three, he said, Iran proved it did not want war and that it was the United States that sought confrontation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very important for us to show world public opinion that America is the party that wants war,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the Americans scuttled the first round of talks and then went to war; abandoned negotiations in Geneva in the second round and launched an attack; and in Islamabad, despite reaching an agreement signed by both sides, reneged on their own signature.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt rarely happens in history that a head of state signs an agreement and then, less than a month later, tears it up and sets it aside,\u201d he said. Nonetheless, he said, Iran continues the diplomatic path seriously.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have set seven conditions, and if the Americans implement these conditions, we will reopen the Strait of Hormuz,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Rezaee\u00a0said the Americans offered responses rigged with \u201cdeception,\u201d which Iran rejected. \u201cThe Americans must provide a clear and explicit response to our seven conditions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s nuclear program not up for discussion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The security chief said Iran\u2019s nuclear program is not currently the subject of discussion and that Iran has announced specific conditions in that regard.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, we will not remove even a single gram of enriched material from Iran,\u201d he said, adding that Iran has told \u201cour Russian friends\u201d that all enriched material will remain inside Iran and be used domestically because it has multiple applications.<\/p>\n

He explained that Iran is designing nuclear-fueled ships and nuclear submarines and needs its enriched material for that, and may at some point produce small SMR-type reactors.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo why should we transfer it abroad? Not a single gram, however small, of enriched material will leave Iran, and all of this material will remain in our own hands,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The second issue, he said, concerns rights granted to Iran under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. \u201cAll countries enjoy rights under this treaty, and we have 22 rights within its framework. As long as we are a member of the NPT, we have the right to enjoy all our rights and, in return, abide by all our obligations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

War will prove costly for Americans\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rezaee\u00a0insisted that Iran wanted to impose \u201ca cost on the Americans that makes aggression against Iran costly and becomes a deterrent factor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is this cost? Securing our rights,\u201d he said. \u201cTherefore, Iran’s negotiations and diplomacy, whether with other countries or with the Americans, are based on the principle of deterrence and the realization of regional security.\u201d<\/p>\n

On regional security, Rezaee\u00a0said the war proved that reliance on the United States brings nothing but insecurity. \u201cBefore the war, everyone assumed that the US provides security; but now who in the region can say America is not a source of insecurity?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, we must continue the diplomatic path in a way that realizes security in West Asia,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

Asked about the naval blockade and reports that a land blockade is also on the way, Rezaee\u00a0said he believes the political capacity of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to continue the war has run out.<\/p>\n

He said they no longer have the necessary political cover, internationally, legally, and domestically, to continue the military aggression.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, if they want to carry out a new attack against Iran, by their own calculations the war will not last more than three to five days,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are now trying to identify an important objective they can achieve within these three or five days, but so far they have not been able to find such an objective.\u201d<\/p>\n
