Iran fired what Israel described as its first long-range missile since the latest round of regional escalation erupted on Feb. 28, a launch the Israeli army said on Saturday carried a range of about 4,000 kilometers (2,485 miles).

In a post on the US social media company X, Israel’s army said Iran’s missile capabilities extend far beyond the Middle East, asserting that Tehran has weapons able to reach major European capitals including Berlin, Paris, and London.
Tehran “has carried out attacks against 12 countries in the region and is developing a capability that poses a much broader threat,” it argued.
The Israeli military’s comments come as the conflict has intensified since US and Israeli strikes on Iran began on Feb. 28. In response, Tehran has launched repeated drone and missile attacks, Israel said, targeting Israel as well as Gulf countries that host US military assets.
