Iran Considers Increasing Missile Range Amid Tensions

Iran is considering increasing the range of its missiles, as stated by the head of Iran’s Strategic Council on Foreign Relations. The official mentioned that if Iran faces an existential threat, there may be a shift in the country's military doctrine. This decision comes in response to what Iran perceives as a lack of consideration for its territorial integrity by Western nations, particularly Europe.

Furthermore, the official highlighted the possibility of Iran expanding the range of its missiles due to the changing dynamics of international relations. Despite having the capability to produce nuclear weapons, Iran is currently restrained by a directive from the country’s Supreme Leader against the development of weapons of mass destruction.
