Iran says it has lifted its self-imposed limit on missile ranges, and other Mideast news
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has lifted its self-imposed limit on the range of its ballistic missiles, hinting at potential developments for longer-range capabilities.
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.
