Iranian press review: Newspapers warn of war reaching 'heart of Europe'

Daily newspapers close to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have published a list of potential targets across Europe, following US strikes on Qeshm Island last week.

The reports came as speculation grows over a possible return of the US to the war with Iran.

On Tuesday, the Hamshahri daily published a map of Europe on its front page, marking US-used bases in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Romania, Greece, Albania and Portugal as the “target bank of the Iranian armed forces”.

Hamshahri described Iran’s new military strategy as one “of confrontation without geographical limits”, borrowing a term the country's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei previously used.
