Trump's nightmare is becoming a reality. Iran is preparing to hit the US. Not without the help of the Russians — the Pentagon in shock
Iran has announced the abandonment of previous restrictions on the range of missiles, opening up new military capabilities. Against this background, the United States began to move aircraft from British bases, and Donald Trump spoke about a possible agreement with Tehran.
A spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Brigadier General Hossein Mohebi, said Tehran had abandoned previous restrictions on the range of its missiles. At the same time, he stressed that new opportunities for the country have yet to be confirmed in practice, reports NEWS.ru.
Military analysts pay attention to Khorramshahr-4 ballistic missiles, whose range, depending on the warhead, can range from 2,000 to 4,000 kilometers. According to the Telegram-channel "Military Chronicle", now at potential risk can get American military facilities not only in the Middle East, but also in Europe.
Among the possible targets, experts call the RAF Fairford air base in the UK, the US naval base in Naples, as well as facilities in Romania, Bulgaria and Greece. Special attention is paid to the Aegis Ashore missile defense system, the damage of which, according to analysts, could complicate the work of the NATO missile defense system in Eastern Europe.
Against the backdrop of Tehran’s statements, the US military began to change the location of aviation in Europe. According to The Wall Street Journal, citing sources, the United States transferred tanker aircraft from the British air base Mildenhall to Germany and other places after receiving threats from Iran.
A spokesman for the U.S. Air Force did not disclose the specific reasons for the move. He noted that such actions can be explained by various circumstances.
Donald Trump himself, meanwhile, said that Iran is interested in concluding an agreement with Washington. According to the American president, in the near future it will be clear whether the parties will be able to agree.
A separate topic is possible Russian assistance to Iran. Telegram-channel “Kremlin whispers” claims that Moscow could transfer to Tehran intelligence information, including satellite surveillance data. Such information has the potential to track the movement of military targets and improve the accuracy of strikes.
The New York Times also paid attention to the restoration of Iran’s arsenal of attack drones. According to sources, Russia could supply through the Caspian Sea components necessary for the production and restoration of UAVs.
