Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on October 6, 2025, that Iran is developing intercontinental ballistic missiles with an 8,000-kilometer range, potentially extendable to 11,000 kilometers to target New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, Miami, and Mar-a-Lago.
He emphasised Israel’s cooperation with the U.S. in sharing advanced weapons to counter the threat without requiring American troops.
U.S. intelligence confirms Iran’s pursuit of longer-range capabilities through space launch vehicles, though no operational ICBM exists yet and full U.S.-reaching potential remains speculative.
