**Deck**: U.S. President Donald Trump says America has won the war with Iran and is seeking total victory, while Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei warns that any renewed U.S. attack could lead to strikes on U.S. military bases in Europe and on distant islands.

Public statements from Washington and Tehran are sharpening the confrontation between the United States and Iran rather than signaling a pause.

On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States did not start a war with Iran, arguing that Iran has been waging war on America since 1979 and that the issue should have been dealt with long ago. He stated that the United States has won the war with Iran but wants to ensure a total victory, not a partial one. He also said he hopes there will be no need to destroy more of Iran.

From Tehran, Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, outlined how Iran might respond if fighting resumes. He said that if the Americans make a mistake and attack Iran, the Iranian response will not be limited to nearby bases. According to Rezaei, Iran may target some U.S. military bases in European countries and some islands that U.S. planners believe Iranian missiles cannot reach.

Rezaei also warned countries that host U.S. bases not to cooperate with any American military attack on Iran. He said any location from which American aircraft take off to strike Iran would be viewed as a threat and a potential target, and called this position Iran’s natural right under international law.

His comments fit into a broader series of Iranian messages about the war and its effects. Rezaei said there is not a single family in the United States or Europe that has not been harmed by the American attack on Iran, and claimed that every economic institution worldwide, large or small, has been affected. He attributed this to what he described as extraordinary resistance by Iran.

Rezaei also described operational decisions, saying that from the first day of the war he put on the uniform of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps again and asked for prayers that he might achieve martyrdom while wearing it. He said that when Iran targeted the United States, it struck only American military bases and that no citizens of Arab countries were harmed. He added that Iran’s hands remain extended and that it is open to cooperation with Arab countries it calls brotherly and friendly.

On Iran’s military capabilities and doctrine, Rezaei said faith comes before technology. He stated that Iran has captured seven drones and two highly advanced submarines intact and described this as evidence of Iran’s level in electronic warfare. He also said President Vladimir Putin of Russia had told Americans that the Islamic Republic is not a system that can be overthrown.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, speaking on related issues, said that despite sanctions and exclusion from international financial resources and technologies, Iran has continued along a path of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and developing clean energy. On nuclear weapons and the environment, he cited a religiously framed position that unconventional weapons, including nuclear arms, destroy crops, human life and future generations, and argued that no power has the right to endanger the foundations of life on Earth in the name of security or military superiority.

These U.S. and Iranian statements combine military threats, claims of victory and appeals to law and ethics, without showing a clear channel toward de-escalation.

Changes to watch now include any adjustment in U.S. deployments in Europe and around Iran, signs that European governments are rethinking how U.S. forces use their territory, and whether Iranian threats toward distant U.S. bases begin to be reflected in missile tests, drills or other concrete preparations.
