Iran lifted its self-imposed range limit on its ballistic missiles and threatened to launch new homegrown weapons that would “stun the entire world,” just hours after the U.S. military launched a new task force aimed at stifling Tehran’s arms shipments and illicit trade on Nov. 7. The spokesman of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Brig. Gen. Hossein Mohebbi confirmed that Iran was abandoning its previous ballistic missile range restriction of 2,000 kilometers, or about 1,240 miles, according to The Associated Press. “That restriction has been lifted for us,” Mohebbi clarified after the task force announcement.

Meanwhile, Iran’s IRGC quickly dismissed the new initiative as a “play on words,” stating that Tehran had already made preparations and coordinated with neighboring countries to withstand additional pressure, Fars news agency reported.

These surprises will shock the entire world,” Mohebbi said during a news conference in Tehran on Saturday, according to the state-run Islamic Republic of Iran News Agency (IRNA). “If they once again make a miscalculation, or if the Zionists, in pursuit of their own interests, lead the criminal United States to make another miscalculation, they should know that Iran’s next blows will be even harsher and will leave them paralyzed for years,” he added. The previous limit of 2,000 kilometers from Iran already put within its range the entire Arabian Peninsula, the Levant, most of Egypt and parts of Greece and the Balkans. In March, Iran unsuccessfully attempted to attack the joint US-British military base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, approximately 2,500 miles from the Islamic Republic. Mohebbi also claimed that Iran was preparing to reveal new underground missile facilities, as Tehran seeks to protect its production. of weapons from future attacks. The facilities, described by Iranian officials as “missile cities”, are designed to allow the IRGC to continue making weapons during times of war, according to IRNA. Iran’s Aerospace Force continued to produce missiles and drones during the recent fighting, using domestic expertise without importing foreign weapons or relying on “reverse engineering of weapons captured from the enemy.” Mohebbi also described Iran’s increasing self-sufficiency in weapons production as a “great achievement.” Meanwhile, Taleblu emphasized the importance of the Caspian Sea basin, saying the world’s largest lake has “become a two-way center for breaking sanctions for both Iran and Russia.” “Iranian officials always claim to be self-sufficient in their military industries,” he said, and especially at scale and at a faster pace. “This is why efforts to limit land and sea trade in and out of Iran are a double blow for the regime.” LINDO’ Soldiers from the U.S.-led coalition forces are seen during the handover of K1 Air Base to the Iraqi Army by the U.S.-led coalition in Kirkuk, Iraq, March 29, 2020.
