Iran has begun producing ballistic missiles with ranges beyond the approximately 2,000 kilometer limit it has publicly maintained for decades, according to Mohammad Akramiya, a spokesperson for the Iranian Armed Forces.
The announcement marks a significant shift in Tehran’s stated missile policy and occurs amid a protracted ongoing conflict with the United States. The Iranian authorities have decided to increase the range of our missiles due to the ongoing conflict with the United States, Akramiya said.
Iran challenges the Zionist controlled Apartheid Militarily & Philosophically
During this conflict, we have concluded that it is absolutely necessary to increase the range of our missiles, and we have already begun to do so.
For years, Iranian officials have described that limit as a deliberate policy rather than a technological constraint, arguing that European countries were not intended to be targets of Iran’s missile program.
Iran possesses one of the largest and most diverse ballistic missile arsenals in the world.
The country first procured short range ballistic missiles in the mid-1980’s from North Korea, which it produced under license, before procuring the North Korean Hwasong-7 in the late 1990’s to provide a medium range strike capability, placing U.S. bases across the region and targets in Israel within range.
The United States has been unable to significantly hinder the country’s missile program due to the fortification of missiles, bases, storage facilities, and production facilities deep underground, with these heavily fortified facilities having been built with North Korean support over decades.
The advanced capabilities of the Iranian ballistic missile and drone forces are heavily relied on to compensate for the significant shortcomings of the country’s conventional forces.
The decision to develop longer range missile types could allow Iran to expand its strikes to U.S. military facilities across Europe, while also allowing for the targeting of hostile warships at sea, and bases on Diego Garcia located approximately 5,000 kilometers away.
The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was reported in late August to be considering attacks on U.S. military facilities in Europe if the ongoing war effort further escalated, which would would represent a major geographical expansion of the conflict.
While Iranian forces can currently launch ballistic missile strikes across much of Eastern Europe, longer range missiles would allow for strikes on higher value targets in Western Europe.
Iranian drone and missile strikes have left U.S. bases across the Middle East unusable, including the United States’ largest overseas military facility Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
Attacks on European bases would be particularly significant due to the extreme depletion of air defences across the continent, primarily due to donations to support the Ukrainian war effort, and the prioritisation of U.S. air defense stockpiles to protect facilities in the Middle East.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has progressively refined its missile and drone operations to better exploit weaknesses in American air defenses, while using a number of previously unseen and more advanced missile types.
Iran’s massive 1.5 Ton payload Ballistic Missile launched at Israel
The most notable has been the Fattah 2, which integrates a hyper-sonic glide vehicle that is nearly impossible to intercept.
The Israeli paper Haaretz in late March confirmed that 80% of Iranian missiles launched against Israeli targets were impacting successfully, indicating that the much less well defended targets in Europe could be highly vulnerable.
Military Watch Magazine / ABC Flash Point News 2026.
80 % Iranian missiles hit their target in Israel — so much for the Zionist “Iron Dome” which uses American,s latest defense missiles .
There are more attacks on MS computers in the UK of hospitals/ government buildings/police/military etc knocking them out .MS,s own Outlook has been taken down for a second day nationwide.
Think ——– if those government companies can be taken out with their own security in action just think how vulnerable the MS computer you are currently using is as a member of the public ?
Ringing the bells to warn Europe to stop supporting USA/Israel attacking Iran.
Could be but also could be raising panic in the public to make it easy to spend £/$ Millions on defence ..
There is past history of UK security forces stirring up the population against “terrorist Russians ” enabling them to introduce draconian measures against their own citizens .
Basically, that us what happens most of the time.
The same misunderstanding will happen when Israel/USA will finally cause a nuclear disaster in the ME.
They have been trying this already, bombing nuclear power stations in Iran. Only one of them is still operational.
The news will tell us that Iran caused a nuclear Armageddon, and that we were warned in advance.
If they do in Iran if the wind blows NW Israel will be radiated –yes Amazon ( owned by Jews ) is already selling iodine anti-radiation tablets and EMF blockers sleeves for cell phones ( only one left in UK ) .
Not only that American and UK military bases in the area will be affected . When the Ukrainian nuclear power station exploded the radiation cloud reached Scotland and sheep on the East coast were contaminated .
