️🇮🇷🇺🇸 - Iran may develop missiles capable of hitting the United States by changing its existing missile technologies and launching its satellites, according to a report by the Revolutionary Guard-affiliated Tasnim news agency, cited by Iran International.
The report follows an order attributed to Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei calling for an "immediate and effective response without geographical limitations" to threats against Iran. Tasnim suggested that this could signal Tehran to abandon the missile range limit of 2,000 kilometers set earlier.
Tasnim noted that reducing the weight of the Khorramshahr-4 missile's warhead could extend its range to 3,000-4,000 kilometers, and could put US bases in parts of Europe within easy reach. He also suggested that existing satellite launch technology could be adapted to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles, noting that reaching the US East Coast would require a range of about 10,000 kilometers.
