The Iranian regime has threatened Europe to increase the range of its ballistic missiles if pressure for disarmament persists.

"If the Europeans, or whoever it is, conspire to disarm Iran of their missiles, we will have to make a strategic jump "said the deputy commander of this paramilitary force, General Salami Hosein, to the television. "There is no obstacle or technical limit to allow us to increase the range of missiles, he added.

Iran is developing its missile technology by obeying a "defensive strategy" modified according to need, he badured.

Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, which in 1979 overthrew the Shah of Persia and established a theocratic regimeIran announced on Saturday that it had "managed" a cruise missile with a range of more than 1,350 km.

According to a report published in 2017 by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London, Iran is developing a dozen types of missiles with a range of 200 to 2,000 km that can carry loads of 450 to 1,200 kg.

These programs worry Westerners who accuse Iran of destabilizing the Middle East, and threaten Israel, the declared enemy of the Islamic Republic.

After the President of the United States, Donald Trump, ordered in 2018 the withdrawal of his country from the nuclear agreement signed in 2015 between Iran and a large part of the international community, the countries of the European Union have tried to keep afloat the pact, which tries to limit its atomic program in exchange for the lifting of the sanctions, with Tehran.

However, also the relationship between Iran and the EU has been tense in recent months for the growing activities of the Persian regime abroad, supporting terrorist groups and militias in various countries of the Middle East, and for its recent ballistic missile tests.
