Israel Warns Iran's Missile Program Could Reach US Range

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Iran is developing long-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States, emphasizing that Tehran's expanding weapons program presents a global security threat.

“Iran can blackmail any American city,” Netanyahu warned in an interview with Ben Shapiro, alleging that Tehran is developing intercontinental ballistic missiles with a range of 8,000 kilometers, The Caspian Post reports citing Iranian media.

“People don’t believe it. Iran is developing intercontinental missiles with a range of 8,000 kilometres, add another 3,000, and they can get to the East Coast of the US.”

He said the missiles could “put New York City, Boston, Washington or Miami under their atomic guns.”

“That’s a really big danger, you don’t want to be under the nuclear gun of these people, who are not necessarily rational and chant ‘death to America,’” he added.
