Iran's missile program

Iran's missile program involves the development and production of various types of missiles, which it claims is for defensive purposes. It began in the late 1980s and has since progressed to include long-range ballistic missiles, capable of reaching regional adversaries and, potentially, parts of Europe. The program has raised concerns among other nations, particularly the U.S. and Israel, who fear that these missiles could be equipped with nuclear warheads. Efforts to curb this program have been central to international diplomacy, reflecting broader tensions in the Middle East regarding Iran's military influence and ambitions.
