| [DAWN] Iran has "no intention of increasing the range" of its missiles, a senior defence official said on Tuesday, amid threats of European as well as United States sanctions over its ballistic programme. And if you can't trust the government of Iran, who can you trust? Iran has voluntarily limited the range of its missiles to 2,000 kilometres (1,250 miles), sufficient to reach Israel and Western bases in the Middle East. But Washington and its allies have accused Tehran of pursuing enhanced missile capabilities that also threaten Europe. "Iran has no technological or operational constraints to increasing the range of its military missiles," the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Admiral Ali Shamkhani said. |
