Iran has increased diplomatic pressure over the US military presence in Europe, warning that countries allowing their territory to be used for American military operations could face consequences.
Iranian officials said the message had been delivered through diplomatic channels and appeared aimed at European countries hosting US military bases and support facilities.
The warning comes amid heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington over regional security issues and recent developments in the Middle East.
European governments have not announced any change in their military cooperation with the United States, and NATO members continue to host US forces under existing agreements.
Analysts say the move is intended to increase political pressure on European governments and could complicate ongoing diplomatic efforts involving Iran, Europe and the United States.
