A warning has emerged that Iran is developing long-range missiles capable of reaching Europe.
According to Walter Bloomberg on the 22nd (local time), Michael Waltz, the US ambassador to the United Nations, said Iran may be bolstering its long-range missile capabilities under the guise of a “space program.”
He stressed in particular that the technology could pose a grave threat if paired with a nuclear warhead.
He also said it is important to respond before such a scenario materializes, citing the need for preemptive US action.
Waltz additionally reaffirmed President Trump’s stance, warning that “if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened within 48 hours, there could be attacks on key energy infrastructure.”
The remarks are seen as signaling that tensions in the Middle East could spill over into a European security issue.
