There's nothing more—no. There isn't. [0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=5) Nima, what you said in the interview is now being quoted from that Al-Mahdi interview. [0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=8) If the Americans make a mistake and attack us, we won't limit ourselves to targeting nearby bases, but will target all nearby bases and also target the Americans' distant bases. [0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=18) Again, elsewhere, regarding this same point that relates to geographical limits, the point was that we lifted the restrictions, and if they launch another attack, we will lift these restrictions even further. [0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=31) That is, in addition to the bases we have targeted so far, we will also target distant U.S. and Israeli military bases. [0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=37) For this reason, we advise all countries that have on their soil U.S. military bases not to cooperate with any U.S. military attack against Iran. [0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=46) Look, I mean that this geography in your message, in the report about the meeting between the Supreme Leader and the commanders, was brought up very seriously: that wherever a threat originates, we'll target that place. I saw another part that seemed to mean that if an aircraft—actually, a bird takes off from anywhere, [1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=61) we can target that place. That was the sort of wording in another part of the Supreme Leader's remarks. [1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=66) Bring that up too— when the Leader's message came, saying we'll respond without geographical limits, there was speculation. They say, "Float the idea, and someone will pick up on it." [1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=77) The Europeans quickly took it to mean, "So this is what the Leader means: they want to hit us." [1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=82) So, don't cooperate with us anymore. We hope you won't cooperate with us, and then we won't hit you. [1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=87) But once you take part in the war, the truth is, if you get hit, the people of Iran will at least all be happy. [1:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=95) Maybe you'll be upset yourselves. Did the Europeans play a role? Yes, they did. [1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=99) I mentioned one example on this show before— Nima, let me read the quote. I just found it. [1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=103) If American planes—I'm sorry. We may even target some U.S. military bases in European countries. [1:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=110) This is happening for the first time. I mean, for the first time, very officially—very officially— It's not just the country's highest-ranking official, in fact, its security official, who's making this point. [1:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=118) If American planes take off from a distant military base and fly to this country to bomb Iran, we will target that base too. [2:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=125) Can you say where the likely ones are? Well, one likely candidate was that RAF base in Britain, where they gathered up and moved their strategic bombers. [2:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=133) At some point, one day, we'll sit down and discuss these events, and the back-and-forths over that RAF base that have happened so far we'll explain in full. [2:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=141) The issue was that a country with a lot of influence, for example, was helping them. [2:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=147) It was Bulgaria. They had a base in Bulgaria. [2:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=150) The Americans had stationed some tanker aircraft there. [2:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=152) Their strategic bombers, the B-1s and B-52s. [2:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=156) Those two were stationed there. They would take off from England. [2:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=160) On the way there, and I think on the way back, I think twice— But at least once, either on the way there or on the way back— they would refuel in the air. [2:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=169) The tanker would come from Bulgaria and refuel them along the way, so they could come strike us and return. [2:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=175) Well, this was a clear example of— And they're within range of our missiles. [3:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=182) In your opinion, with what he says is happening— Look, basically, a country that has the ability to launch satellites and put them into orbit, even low orbits, can hit targets much farther away than these. [3:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=198) And again, refer to those remarks by the great martyr Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, may God have mercy on him. [3:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=205) I think he was martyred about two decades ago. [3:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=210) Around then. I don't remember the exact year. [3:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=213) He has a line, and a clip of it has been shown. [3:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=215) He says, “We have no range limit.” Well, technically, these claims are entirely accurate. [3:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=223) And the limit we had— we wouldn't test missiles over 2,000 kilometers— was because... [3:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=230) And the message, clearly conveyed by the country's senior political officials, was: “Look, our missile program is defensive, and we have no plans to target, for example, Europeans.” [4:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=242) But if necessary, you can do it. This isn't technology that the Islamic Republic of Iran lacks access to. [4:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=251) No, we'd had access to it long before that. [4:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=255) It was mostly a matter of political will. [4:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=259) We've said many times, after the 9th of Esfand and the forty-day war, the mindset of the Iranian people and the Islamic Republic of Iran is definitely different. [4:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=271) Tomorrow, the 21st of Aban, is also the anniversary of the martyrdom of Martyr Tehrani Moghaddam. [4:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=275) So, it’s Aerospace Day. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. [4:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/xnjdE9WTpegN/en/iran-s-response-to-us-attacks-distant-bases-and-missile-range?t=277) Or in memory of Martyr Tehrani Moghaddam— May his soul rest in peace.
