Newtalk新聞 中東地緣政治局勢持續升溫，伊朗最高國家安全委員會秘書雷扎伊（Mohsen Rezaei）於當地時間 11 日發出強硬警告，揚言若美國再次對伊朗發動軍事打擊，伊朗的報復範圍將不再侷限於中東周邊，而是進一步擴大至位於歐洲的美軍基地及偏遠島嶼設施。與此同時，葉門戰場亦傳出親政府武裝遭胡塞組織（Houthi）精準伏擊，重創多輛裝甲車，顯示區域衝突風險正全面外溢。 綜合《央視新聞》報導，雷扎伊在週三明確表示：「如果美國人犯下錯誤，再次攻擊我們，我們的打擊範圍將不會侷限於周邊的軍事基地。我們甚至可能打击一些位於歐洲國家境內的美國軍事基地。」他進一步指出，伊朗也可能襲擊「他們認為我們的導彈無法抵達的一些島嶼」，並警告所有駐有美軍的國家切勿配合美軍行動，強調「無論美國軍機從哪裡起飛，我們都將其視為對我們的威脅」。 伊朗國安首腦與國防軍總參謀長相繼發表強硬聲明，宣稱「絕不交出濃縮鈾」。 圖：翻攝自@Israelwaronhama 此外，X 平台帳號 @Israelwaronhama 引述相關說法指出，伊朗國安首腦與國防軍總參謀長相繼發表強硬聲明，宣稱「絕不交出濃縮鈾」、要求美國必須對真主黨、胡塞組織及哈瑪斯作出安全承諾，並主張荷姆茲海峽（ Strait of Hormuz ）必須處於伊朗控制之下，同時宣稱決心建立一個涵蓋經濟與安全領域合作的「波斯灣沿岸 8 國聯盟」。 針對伊朗的遠程打擊能力與美軍動向，美國《戰略與國際研究中心》（CSIS）資料顯示，伊朗主要彈道飛彈射程約為 2,000 公里，部分型號可達 3,000 公里；英國《皇家聯合三軍研究所》（RUSI）則認為，從理論上講伊朗具備打擊英國境內目標的可能性。 美軍 10 架 KC-135 空中加油機與 3 架「魚鷹」傾轉旋翼機，從英國東部的米爾登霍爾皇家空軍基地撤離。 圖：翻攝自@MarioNawfal 值得注意的是，就在警告發布前幾天，美軍因擔憂潛在安全威脅，已將約 …
