No Iran does. /sarc
Components of a world wide missile shield, and trust me this is the goal, have to be dispersed worldwide. And if the USA should be the potential target of a missile from Russia or Iran, you would want your systems to be placed as close to the launch site as possible.
Why the hell would Iran want to fire into Eastern Europe? It wouldn’t. And neither would Russia or China. But Russia wants the USSR back and that would be easier were the ex republics less integrated with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Russia and China are the real worry. But diplomatic etiquette does not recommend that to be openly stated because that would open everyones hand and rush the end of the game.
