New Tasnim report: Can Iran build an intercontinental ballistic missile?
Tasnim Agency published material stating that Iran has the technical capabilities to increase the range of its missiles beyond the established limit of 2,000 kilometers.
In particular, reducing the mass of the Hormashhar missile's warhead may make it possible to increase its range to 3,000-4,000 kilometers. According to the agency, this would make it possible to hit American military bases and the targets of their allies in certain areas of Europe.
The agency also considered the possibility of developing intercontinental missiles. Hitting the East Coast of the US, including areas near cities like Washington and New York, would require a missile with a range of about 10,000 kilometers. To cover the entire US, the range must exceed 13,000 kilometers.
Tasnim further states that achieving such indicators is possible through the use of existing developments and technologies of the Iranian space program, in particular the launch vehicles Kasad, Zolgana and Cam. According to the agency, the required range can be achieved by making changes to launch systems, missile silos and warhead design.
