i can easily imagine this happening and it would be 'fair play' considering our history with iran;

An Iranian lawmaker has warned that the country’s missiles can hit Europe and could eventually target U.S. cities. The remarks come amid rising tensions between Tehran, Western governments, and Israel, with sanctions and military action intensifying the standoff.

Amir Hayat-Moqaddam, told Iranian media on Sunday that Tehran has been developing long-range strike capabilities for two decades. He warned that “perhaps our next missile will hit Washington directly.”

Newsweek has reached out to the State Department and Iran’s Foreign Ministry for comment.

Why It Matters

The comments underline the heightened risk of a broader conflict as Iran openly discusses offensive capabilities against both European capitals and the United States. Western governments have been working to contain Tehran’s nuclear program, while Israel and the U.S. have already carried out strikes designed to degrade Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure. The rhetoric adds urgency to ongoing debates over sanctions, nuclear oversight and regional security.
