An Iranian lawmaker has issued new threats against the United States and Europe, boasting about Tehran’s growing military reach. MP Amir Hayat-Moqaddam, who serves on the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, declared that Iran’s ballistic missiles can now strike any European city. He further claimed that Iran’s naval forces are capable of positioning themselves close enough to the U.S. coastline to target Washington, New York, and other major cities along the East Coast. According to Hayat-Moqaddam, these advancements are the result of two decades of development in both missile technology and naval launch systems.

His remarks come at a time of escalating tensions between Iran and Western powers. Just days earlier, Britain, France, and Germany informed the United Nations of their intention to reimpose sanctions on Iran starting at the end of August. Hayat-Moqaddam’s threats appear to be a direct response to this move, signaling Iran’s willingness to project strength and deter further international pressure. The statements highlight the ongoing volatility in Middle Eastern geopolitics and the continued standoff between Tehran and Western capitals.

Stay Awake. Keep Watch.
