The first is the use of some people living in Ukraine who could commit a terrorist attack,&#8221; he noted.<\/p>\n<p> The second scenario, he said, involves transferring about 200 long-range missiles to Russia to strike Ukrainian cities. However, the analyst noted that moving such a load across the Caspian Sea unnoticed by US and Israeli intelligence would be extremely difficult.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jFchaF_HaWw&#038;t=1086s<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/iran-threatened-to-strike-ukraine-is-it-realistic\/\">Iran threatened to strike Ukraine: is it realistic?<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> The third, least likely option is a direct missile attack from Iranian territory. Such a flight would pass through Turkish airspace and over the Black Sea, which would give Ukrainian air defenses enough time to prepare and intercept targets, explains Ivan Stupak.<\/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<div id=\"oa-360-1774163543195_b5q7sdwon\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"oa-360-1774163543220_eskfqy46g\" data-dest=\"placeholder\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"oa-360-1774163543219_i93luoack\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"oa-360-1774163543220_403tsjyfy\"> 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><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After official Tehran&#8217;s statements about recognizing Ukraine as a &#8220;legitimate target,&#8221; the question arises about the Iranian regime&#8217;s real capabilities to harm Kyiv.
