Tehran Threatens Europe: the Pasdaran Map (Including Italy)

Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated to an unprecedented level, officially crossing the boundaries of the Middle East to directly threaten European territory. According to documents and a detailed map circulated by Tehran media outlets (particularly the daily Hamshahri), the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reportedly placed 15 strategic military installations across 9 European countries within range of its missile arsenal.

The “land blockade” doctrine and the warning to the West

The Pasdaran initiative comes in response to Washington’s policies and the alleged use of logistics infrastructure and bases located on the Old Continent to support military operations in the Middle East. The message from Iranian leaders is clear: if the United States uses bases in Europe to carry out or support attacks against Iran, the conflict will expand without geographical limits.

The map explicitly identifies key nodes for Atlantic logistics and deterrence, including:

• Ramstein Air Base in Germany, a strategic hub for Allied command.
• RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom.
• Installations in Cyprus and Greece.
• Bases on Italian territory, with direct reference to the logistical importance of Sigonella in Sicily.

Alert in Italy and the international security response

The explicit mention of Italy and other European partners has triggered the highest level of alert among NATO commands and national defense ministries. While analysts note that striking targets more than 2,000 kilometers away poses significant technical challenges in terms of accuracy and range for Iranian ballistic missiles, the political implications of the threat are disruptive.

Prominent figures in Tehran’s parliament and security establishment have reiterated that any logistical support provided by third countries to U.S. forces will automatically turn those facilities into “legitimate targets”. Meanwhile, European military commands are closely monitoring developments, accelerating missile-defense countermeasures and protection plans for the most exposed areas of the southern flank.
