BREAKING: Iran announces it has now lifted its self-imposed 2,000 kilometre range limit on ballistic missiles, bringing targets in Europe and remote US military bases in reach.
"This restriction has been lifted for us," IRGC spokesman Mohebbi said, adding that "Today, any point from which we feel a serious threat to the country can be our target."
It follows an order from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who told commanders to prepare an "immediate and geographically unrestricted response to any threat" and to demonstrate the capability in practice rather than make statements.
Iran's Khorramshahr missile is already assessed to reach around 3,000 km, and in March 2026 Iran launched two of them toward Diego Garcia around 4,000 km away, suggesting an even greater reach.
