Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say it has lifted a self-imposed limit on the range of the country’s ballistic missiles, raising the prospect of strikes at targets farther away if tensions with the United States or Israel escalate again.
Multiple outlets report the announcement and describe it as a signal of potentially expanded military capability amid ongoing regional tensions. ABC News, The Independent, and Iran International frame the development as relevant to the risk that future US or Israeli actions could prompt wider-ranging Iranian responses.
Some coverage adds a specific detail: City News Toronto says the previous cap was 2,000 kilometers. Other reports mention the lifting of the restriction without specifying the number. Across sources, the core point remains the same: Iran states it is no longer constrained by the earlier self-imposed missile range limit.
