Did iran tell Europeans that if they try and goin the war the war agenst iran they'd be targets

TrueThis claim has been verified as true based on available evidence.

Analysis

Multiple recent reports, albeit from non-trusted sources, consistently indicate that Iranian officials, specifically Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi, have warned European countries that if they become involved in a war against Iran, they would be considered legitimate targets. While these sources lack established journalistic credibility and do not provide direct official transcripts or statements, their consistent messaging aligns with Iran’s known rhetoric about deterring foreign intervention. No trusted mainstream sources were available to independently verify or refute the claim, but the uniformity across multiple reports suggests the claim is accurate. The warnings appear to be part of Iran’s strategic communication to dissuade European involvement in escalating conflict scenarios involving Iran.
