A Revolutionary Guards spokesman told a press conference in Tehran that the 2,000 km range limit on ballistic missiles has been removed. He said the self-imposed restriction "has been removed as far as we are concerned."
Asked whether the leader's directive to respond to threats without geographic limitation meant the range limit had been removed, the spokesman replied: "That limit has been removed for us."
The announcement came against the backdrop of threats by President Trump of further strikes on Iran and of negotiations toward an agreement.
