IRGC general says Iran has lifted its self-imposed limit on missile range

Iran has lifted its self-imposed limit on the range of its ballistic missiles, according to a general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Gen. Hossein Mohebbi made the announcement at a press conference in Tehran on 7 November, as reported by AP via ABC News.

"That restriction has been lifted for us."

He did not say whether Iran has missiles capable of going beyond the old limit. He said Iran would demonstrate its capabilities in practice.

The statement was also reported by Arab News. It is on the record, but there is no public evidence yet that Iran can strike beyond its previous range. That capability has not been independently checked.
