Iran Signals Ambitions for Long-Range Missiles Amid Rising US Tensions
Iran has expressed ambitions to develop missiles with ranges up to 15,000 kilometres, potentially capable of reaching the American mainland. Senior Iranian lawmakers have highlighted this goal amid ongoing tensions with the United States, including warnings that US troops could be targeted globally. Meanwhile, Iran has eased transit restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz for ships from India, China, Iraq, and Qatar, which may benefit regional shipping. These developments occur alongside heightened geopolitical tensions and US political dynamics following recent elections.
