US–Iran war could ignite wider regional war – analyst

🟠 "Iran possesses more than 3,000 missiles of various types. But what matters more than their number is their range and dispersion," Israeli political analyst Yuri Bocharov told Sputnik.

🟠 "The maximum range of modern Iranian ballistic missiles reaches 2,500 kilometres. "

The potential targets within 2,500km of Iran make clear that any war would not be just a local exchange of attacks.

"Within that radius are the capitals of all Middle Eastern countries, with partial coverage of southeastern Europe — including the Balkans and eastern Greece," Bocharov warned.

Bocharov says the US bases in range of Iran would make any conflict multi-layered and unlikely to be confined to a single target.

Tehran is preparing for a surprise attack by dispersing its leadership and telling Revolutionary Guard and army units to fight on even if communications with central command are lost — a sign, the analyst said, that it sees war as imminent.
