Iran says it will strike U.S. bases in Europe if it is attacked again. A senior Iranian security official warned that every base involved, "from West Asia to Europe," would be a legitimate target, and Iranian state media has already mapped 15 potential targets across the continent.
In this video we break down which bases are under threat, from Al Udeid in Qatar and the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain to Aviano in Italy, Ramstein in Germany, and RAF Lakenheath and RAF Fairford in England. We look at whether Iran's missiles can actually reach them, including the March 20 launch toward Diego Garcia that went twice as far as Tehran's declared range. Then we cover President Trump's answer: three aircraft carriers in the region, the USS George H.W. Bush, USS George Washington and USS Theodore Roosevelt, plus thousands of Marines. Finally, the shield that would defend these bases, Patriot, THAAD and the Navy's SM-3, and the cost and stockpile problem behind every interceptor.
