Israeli officials have released a map showing the potential reach of Iranian missiles, indicating that some could theoretically strike targets in Europe, including Kosovo.
The risk of a broader Middle East conflict has taken a worrying turn. What began as U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran has escalated into one of the most serious geopolitical crises of the decade, with consequences extending far beyond the region.
According to Israeli and Western sources, Iranian ballistic missiles have the capability to reach targets not only in the Middle East but deep into Europe.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that Iran’s missile capabilities “extend beyond the Middle East,” describing the Tehran regime as a growing threat to global peace.
A graphic published by the Center for Strategic and Defense Studies illustrates missile ranges from approximately 300 km to 2,500 km, placing a significant portion of Southeastern Europe within potential reach.
- Medium and long-range missiles, such as the Shahab-3 and Ghadr-110, are considered the most dangerous, with estimated ranges of up to 2,000 km.
- Capitals like Athens, Sofia, and Bucharest, as well as other cities in the Western Balkans, fall within this theoretical range.
- At maximum theoretical reach, cities including Budapest, Vienna, Warsaw, and Bratislava could also be affected.
However, independent analysts caution that these ranges are theoretical and do not guarantee a strike on these destinations. Operational capability depends on factors such as accuracy, air defense obstacles, and tactical conditions.
