Iran has 3,000 ballistic missiles, some can hit Israel, warns US general

Iran possesses 3,000 ballistic missiles, some of which can reach Israel, the chief of the US Central Command, Kenneth McKenzie, warned yesterday.

McKenzie told US Senators that none of the Iranian missiles could "reach Europe yet," adding that over the "last five to seven years they [Iran] have invested heavily in their ballistic missile programme."

"We saw this in the attack on the American base in Iraq's Ayn Al-Asad in January 2020, where the missiles had hit an accuracy of several tens of meters," he stressed.

McKenzie added that Iran continues to be the greatest threat to US interests and the security of the Middle East. "Iran's ballistic capabilities pose an existential threat to the security of every country in the region, including our close partners," he said.

Iran attacks the US, and we do nothing. I'm guessing the Israeli response would be somewhat different, even with a "liberal" government.

Biden's need for a new Iran Nuclear Deal and for more Iranian oil means the ayatollahs got leverage over Grandpa Joe.

I'm sure that Israel is well aware of this fact, and has contingency plans in place, depending on what sort of warhead is attached to those missiles.
