On Saturday, the Israel Defence Forces posted on social media that ⁠Iran has missiles "that can reach London, Paris or Berlin".

Just Israel propaganda, nothing to see here.

Um, two of their missiles reached Diago Garcia, which is a 1,000km further than Berlin (give or take, depends where in Iran they launched them.)

That is a factual statement. They do have such weapons. The question is whether they intend to target Europe with them or not and for that there's no evidence.

If they send missiles our way, I bet they will look a lot like Israeli or US ones. And they will probably hit a girls' school.

yeah Iran can't.....buuuuut Israel can. https://vividmaps.com/maximum-missile-ranges/

Also not sure how valid this source is considering the "range" of North Korea.

Probably talking about this post.

Yet.

If Europe joins in attacking Iran, they will. They've made it quite clear. And, really, it's quite reasonable.

If you keep letting US use your country as base then they might.
