Iran has decided to increase the range of its missiles amid the conflict with the United States

The Iranian authorities have decided to increase the range of their missiles amid the ongoing conflict with the United States. This was announced on October 4 by the official representative of the Iranian army, Mohammad Akraminia.

"During this war, we came to the conclusion that we definitely need to increase the range of our missiles, and we have already moved in this direction," the Fars news agency quoted Akraminia as saying on the Telegram channel.

Currently, Tehran has an arsenal of medium-range missiles. During the conflict with the United States, which began on February 28, the Iranian side mainly used projectiles capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 2,000 km.

At the same time, in March, there were reports of an Iranian attack on a British military base located on Diego Garcia Island in the Indian Ocean. The distance from Tehran to this facility exceeds 5,000 km. Official Iran did not confirm the information about the strike at the time.
