This is the Khorramshahr series, which they could theoretically launch over the territory of Ukraine,&#8221; the studio guest said.<\/p>\n<p> At the same time, he stressed that the probability of such a scenario remains low, since the launchers of these complexes are under constant surveillance and methodical fire pressure from Israel and the United States. The distance between the states is from 2 to 3 thousand kilometers, which requires the use of specific weapons.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/youtu.be\/Bm-qspQ4G5k?t=62<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/white-house-split-is-trump-facing-impeachment\/\">White House split: Is Trump facing impeachment?<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> In addition to missile threats, there is a risk of deploying sabotage groups to conduct local operations. However, currently Iran&#8217;s aggressive rhetoric looks like an attempt at diplomatic pressure to force Kyiv to reconsider its foreign policy, &#8211; summarized Denys Popovych.<\/p>\n<p> Recently, the head of the Iranian parliament&#8217;s national security and foreign policy committee, Ebrahim Azizi, stated that Ukraine, through drone assistance, has turned its territory into a legitimate target for Iran. Military-political analyst Dmitry Snegirev expressed the opinion that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/rakety-proksi-ta-vis-zla-chym-naspravdi-nebezpechni-zaiavy-iranu-shchodo-ukrainy\/\">such statements should not be taken lightly<\/a> , since Iran has missile reserves.<\/p>\n<p> According to him, currently the Iranian missile program is considered one of the most modern. Moreover, the radius of the target is from 300 to 2.5 thousand kilometers. These are Fateh (Fateh)-110, Zolfaghar (Zulfiqar) missiles and a number of others. In addition, according to American intelligence, Iran may have more than 3 thousand ballistic missiles of various types, while the number of cruise missiles is much larger.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran has publicly called the territory of Ukraine a legitimate target for attacks through the provision of drone assistance.
