Iran lifts missile range limits, warns of stronger response to new strikes

Iranian Revolutionary Guard spokesperson Hossein Mohibi has warned the United States and Israel of a stronger military response if strikes resume, while announcing that Iran has lifted restrictions on the range of its missiles, allowing Tehran to demonstrate their full reach if necessary.

Mohibi said: "The United States and Israel must realize that our response will be even stronger if military strikes resume, and we will keep them grounded for years to come."

In a statement highlighting Iran’s military capabilities, the spokesperson announced that the Revolutionary Guard’s aerospace force will unveil a new underground missile facility, along with several other military achievements, adding that Tehran will demonstrate its new capabilities in the field.

Mohibi also addressed the explosions heard Friday evening near Qeshm Island and the Strait of Hormuz, saying most were caused by Iranian defensive fire, and confirmed that an American aircraft was damaged, without specifying its type or the extent of the damage.

The Revolutionary Guard spokesperson’s remarks came after US President Donald Trump said American forces had destroyed an Iranian air defense facility within minutes, without specifying its location.
