The Israeli army announced that Iran has used long-range missiles with a range of 4,000 kilometers, and that European capitals such as Berlin, Paris, and London are also within range. On the other hand, since February 28, the impact of the conflicts due to Iran's missile and drone attacks against US and Israeli strikes carries the risk of spilling over beyond the region.
The war that began with the attacks launched by the US and Israel against Iran on February 28 continues to escalate, while a new development that could change the balances in the region has occurred. The Israeli army made a striking statement regarding Iran's long-range missile capability.
LONG-RANGE MISSILE USED FOR THE FIRST TIME
According to the Israeli army, Iran launched a long-range missile with a range of approximately 4,000 kilometers for the first time since the beginning of the war. This development has raised concerns that the geographical impact of the conflict could expand.
CLAIM OF "EUROPEAN CAPITALS IN THE CROSSHAIRS"
The Israeli army claimed in a statement made via the US-based social media platform X that Iran has the missile capability to reach major European capitals such as Berlin, Paris, and London. The statement emphasized that this situation poses not only a regional but also a global security threat.
12 COUNTRIES HIT
In the same statement, it was asserted that the Tehran administration has carried out attacks against 12 countries in the region, and it was claimed that Iran has developed military capacity that could pose a broader threat.
MUTUAL ATTACKS CONTINUE
Since February 28, in response to the US and Israeli attacks on Iran, the Tehran administration has been conducting drone and missile attacks targeting Israel and the Gulf countries where US military assets are located.
TENSION AT ITS PEAK IN THE REGION
Experts point out that with Iran's use of long-range missiles, the war could enter a new phase. Particularly, the inclusion of Europe in the range discussions further deepens the global security dimension of the conflict.
US-ISRAEL'S ATTACKS ON IRAN
While negotiations continue between the Tehran and Washington administrations, Israel and the US launched a military attack on Iran on February 28. Iran responded with attacks on targets it identified in some regional countries, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Bahrain, where US bases are located, in addition to Israel.
In the US-Israel attacks, Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with many high-ranking officials, was killed. According to Iranian officials, the death toll from the US-Israel attacks has exceeded 1,348, and the number of injured has surpassed 17,000.
