Iranian missiles with a 2,000 km range are displayed

 


Only two days after Israel's military chief warned "action" against Tehran over its nuclear program, Iranian state media said on 25 May that the country had successfully tested a ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers.

With one of the largest missile arsenals in West Asia, Iran asserted that its warheads could reach American and Israeli positions there.

Tehran has vowed to keep developing its alleged defense missile program, despite worries from the US and Europe.

"We want Iran's adversaries to know that we will stand up for the nation and its accomplishments. Our message to our friends is that we want to help regional stability," According to Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, Iran's Minister of Defense.

Because of its small radar signature, this missile is able to elude radar detection and get past opposing air defense systems, according to the expert.

Additionally, the defense minister noted that "this missile has the capability to utilize various warheads for different missions."

Images of an upgraded Khoramshahr 4 ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 km and a payload of 1,500 kg were broadcast on Iranian official media.

The missile was given the name Kheibar in honor of a Jewish bastion that Muslim warriors reportedly seized in the early days of Islam, according to the Iranian state news agency IRNA.

Analysts think that the Khorramshahr's largest payload was intended to keep the weapon under the 2,000-km range restriction set by the supreme leader.

At a ceremony in Tehran, the Khorramshahr-4 missile was unveiled to the public and set up on a truck-mounted launcher next to a tiny golden Dome of the Rock on the grounds of the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, a sacred spot for both Muslims and Jews.

Iran claimed that its ballistic missiles had a powerful deterrence and retribution capability against the US, Israel, and other potential regional adversaries.
