The Tasnim news agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, wrote on Saturday, November 23, in a report referring to what it called "the removal of the missile range limit," that the Islamic Republic has the technical ability to increase the range of its missiles beyond the 2,000 kilometer limit.
Referring to the "Khormashhar 4" missile, Tasnim wrote that reducing the weight of the warhead of this missile could increase its range to 3,000 to 4,000 kilometers. A range that, according to this news agency, makes it possible to target the bases of the United States and its allies in parts of Europe.
This news agency also wrote that a missile with a range of about 10,000 kilometers would be required to target the east coast of the United States, including areas close to cities such as Washington and New York, and to cover the entire territory of the United States, a range of more than 13,000 kilometers would be required.
Tasnim also wrote that such a range can be achieved by using the capabilities of the IRGC's satellite carrier program, including "Shalih", "Zoljana" and "Kaim", and by making changes to the launch systems, the missile silos and the design of the warheads, these ranges can be reached.
