Iran no longer considers itself bound by a self-imposed 2,000-km (1,200-mile) limit on the range of its ballistic missiles, a spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has said. Iranian officials recently warned that Tehran would target military installations in Europe used by American forces, should the US and Israel attack the country again.
Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi said during a press conference on Saturday that “this restriction [on the range of ballistic missiles] has been lifted for us.” He stopped short of providing further details, noting that the Iranian military is currently focused on “demonstrating these capabilities in practice.”
While the Islamic Republic is not known to have in its arsenal missiles capable of reaching targets beyond the 2,000-km range, US officials believe the country possesses the technologies needed to build intercontinental ballistic missiles, as reported by the Associated Press.
