Iran has lifted a restriction limiting its missiles' range to 2,000 kilometers, according to a report accompanying footage of an underground missile facility. The report links the display to warnings that Tehran's response to an attack would no longer be geographically constrained.
Qatar-based Al Araby Television's news channel shows missiles, launchers and military personnel inside fortified tunnels. It identifies the installation as belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force, the branch responsible for the corps' strategic missiles, air and space operations.
The report, titled "إيران تكشف عن مدينة صواريخ ضخمة تحت الأرض.. ما القصة؟" ("Iran unveils a massive underground missile city: what's the story?"), describes the facility as housing ballistic and cruise missiles alongside launch platforms.
Footage shows senior Iranian commander Ali Abdollahi inspecting the installation and addressing troops. The presenter relays his warning that any attack would bring an Iranian response extending beyond the region. The broadcast also attributes to Ali Khamenei instructions to update lists of American and Israeli targets for an immediate response without geographical restrictions.
The claimed removal of the range cap is presented as a change in Iran's military posture, rather than a demonstration of a particular missile's tested reach. The report does not identify individual missile models or give their ranges.
The segment opens by describing relations between Washington and Tehran as a state of neither peace nor war, with both sides exchanging deterrent messages. Its closing section surveys social-media reactions before returning to footage of missiles and equipment inside the tunnels.
