Iran has ability to attack countries in Europe, Asia, Africa: IDF

IDF reveals Iran's 4,000km missile range threatens dozens of countries. Netanyahu vows to strike enemies as Iranian consulate issues warning.

"The Iranian terrorist regime poses a global threat. Now, with missiles that can reach London, Paris or Berlin. - Israel Defense Forces"

Tel Aviv, March 22

The Israel Defense Forces said on Saturday that Iranian missiles can reach a distance of almost 4,000km, which brings London, Paris or Berlin within its radar.

The IDF further said that during Operation Rising Lion in June 2025, it found that Iran poses a danger to several countries across Europe, Asia and Africa.

In a post on X, the IDF said, "The Iranian terrorist regime launched a long-range missile for the first time since the start of Operation Roaring Lion that could reach a distance of ~4,000 km. During Operation Rising Lion in June 2025, the IDF revealed that the Iranian regime has intentions to develop missiles with a range of 4,000 km, which pose a danger to dozens of countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. The Iranian regime denied this."

"We have been saying it: The Iranian terrorist regime poses a global threat. Now, with missiles that can reach London, Paris or Berlin. The Iranian terror regime has carried out attacks against 12 countries in the region and is developing a capability that poses a much broader threat," it added.

Consulate General of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Hyderabad said that Israeli skies will be deemed defenceless if they fail to intercept missiles in Dimona.

In a post on X, the Consulate said, "If the Israeli regime fails to intercept the missiles in the heavily fortified area of Dimona, it will be an operational sign of entering a new phase of the battle: Israeli sky is defenceless. As a result, it seems that the time has come to implement the next pre-planned plans. Happy Nowruz to the Iranian nation."

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel was determined to continue striking its enemies on all fronts.

"This has been a very difficult evening in the battle for our future. A short while ago, I spoke with Arad Mayor Yair Ma'ayan and asked to convey, on behalf of all the citizens of Israel, our prayers for the recovery of the wounded. I have instructed the Director General of my office to provide the full necessary assistance, together with all government ministries. I offer my support to the emergency and rescue forces currently operating on the ground, and I call upon everyone to follow Home Front Command instructions. We are determined to continue striking our enemies on all fronts," the Israeli PM's Office said.

The rhetoric from both sides is terrifying. As an Indian, I just hope this doesn't spiral into a wider conflict that disrupts oil supplies and global trade. Our economy can't handle another shock. 🙏 Peace is the only way forward.

Frankly, the IDF statement feels like it's meant to rally Western support by painting Iran as a direct threat to Europe. The real immediate danger is to the Middle East. India has good relations with both Israel and Iran—a very delicate position for our diplomats.

Reading this from Delhi. The mention of "Operation Rising Lion in June 2025" is concerning. It suggests pre-planned, long-term conflict. India's focus should remain on its own borders and development, but we can't ignore such a potent regional instability.

The Iranian consulate's statement about "Happy Nowruz" in the same breath as talking about missiles is... something else. This whole situation shows why strong indigenous defense tech is non-negotiable for India. We must be Atmanirbhar in security matters.

With respect, I think the article presents only the Israeli perspective very strongly. The Iranian denial is just one line. As readers, we should seek more balanced reporting to understand the full picture, especially when tensions are so high.

We welcome thoughtful discussions from our readers. Please keep comments respectful and on-topic.
