I didn't believe the news that Iran had launched missiles at US military bases in Britain and India, 3800 kilometers away. ✅ I immediately checked with @grok, who confirmed the news was true, but one of the two missiles malfunctioned mid-flight, and the other was intercepted. There has been no confirmation from Iran. ⭕️ If confirmed, this would have significant strategic implications. The actual range of Iranian missiles could very well be 4000 kilometers or more (some assessments even suggest it's close to 5000 kilometers). ⭕️ This means that Iran's ballistic missiles (possibly improved versions of the Khorramshahr series or other IRBMs) have already achieved near-intercontinental capability, i.e., "quasi-intercontinental" level. 🎯Let's summarize the distances between the entire European region, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, and Iran: Israel: 1000-1800KM US Gulf Bases (Qatar, UAE, etc.): 300-1500KM Indian Ocean: 3800-4100KM Most of Europe (Greece, Italy, Spain, Southern Germany, Eastern Europe): 2500-4000KM UK: 4200-4500KM US: Greater than 9000KM This news means that most of Europe is no longer safe, and the previously secure Indian Ocean region is now within strike range! Diego Garcia is a rear base for the US military in the Indian Ocean, used for deploying B-2, B-52, and B-1B strategic bombers, and resupplying nuclear submarines. Previously thought to be too far for Iran to reach, Iran has now proven it can, meaning that US platforms for beyond-visual-range strikes against Iran face new risks. 🟢This forces the US to reassess its red lines regarding Iran. If Iran has the capability to strike the most remote strategic assets of the US military, it will force Trump to be more cautious in his decision-making! The future military landscape will undergo significant changes!
