An Iranian lawmaker has warned that the country’s retaliatory missile strikes in the event of renewed US-Israeli aggression will reach Europe, pushing oil prices to new record highs, state broadcaster Press TV reports.

Hossein-Ali Haji Deligani warns that Iran’s response will not be limited or proportionate, but instead will be a “massive, amplified and strategic one” without geographical constraints.

“Any act of sabotage or military aggression by the United States and Israel would trigger an Iranian response, with missiles capable of reaching targets in Europe. Such an escalation could drive oil prices above $150 per barrel,” he adds.
