German outlet says Iran planning attacks against US bases in Germany
2026-10-09
[Rudaw] Iranian intelligence agencies are planning operations against two US bases in Germany, a German media outlet claimed Thursday, amid recent reports that American bomber aircraft were being moved from the UK over concerns about potential Iranian attacks.

The privately owned WirtschaftsWoche said its "research" identified the bases as Ramstein Air Base in Rhineland-Palatinate, in southwestern Germany, and Spangdahlem Air Base in the Eifel region of the same state.

operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

, citing a US official, reported that Israel had warned Germany that the US bases in question faced a "heightened risk" of being targeted by Iran.
