Iran Plans Missile Range Extension Amid Diplomatic Talks and Strait of Hormuz Incident
Iran is preparing to extend the range of its missiles following recent conflicts with the US and Israel, citing the repositioning of US forces farther from its coast. Tehran links the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to prior diplomatic conditions and denies offering new nuclear concessions. Meanwhile, Iran is reviewing a US diplomatic proposal presented at the UN, with officials assessing terms delivered through intermediaries. A commercial tanker was recently damaged near the Strait, prompting maritime security investigations and heightened caution advisories.
