Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says it has lifted a self-imposed limit of 2,000 kilometres (1,200 miles) on the range of its ballistic missiles, suggesting the country may seek to develop missiles capable of reaching more distant targets as fears of renewed all-out war rise.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said on Nov. 7 that it had removed its own 2,000-kilometer ceiling for ballistic missiles, Aawsat and WSLS reported. Xinhua said the Guard revealed a new missile base on Nov. 10, while The Jerusalem Post described an underground missile complex. The Jerusalem Post reported that IRGC Maj.-Gen. Abdollahi said Iran could respond beyond the Middle East if it faced another attack. Al Jazeera said experts were questioning whether longer-range missiles were meant for targets outside the region; the reports do not establish their intended reach.
