Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says it lifted its self-imposed 2,000-km ballistic-missile limit

Asharq News reported that Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesman Hossein Mohebbi said Iran had lifted its self-imposed 2,000-kilometer limit on ballistic-missile range. Iran is not known to possess missiles exceeding that range, and the announcement does not establish that longer-range missiles have been developed or deployed. Any development beyond the stated limit remains a possibility, not an established capability. Separately, in a joint statement published by the Saudi Press Agency on March 2, 2026, Saudi Arabia and other signatories strongly condemned Iranian missile and drone attacks on sovereign territories in the region as indiscriminate and reckless. The statement cited risks to civilians and damage to civilian infrastructure, described the attacks as a dangerous escalation threatening regional stability, and affirmed the signatories’ right to defend themselves.
