Iranian Missile Can 'Reach Central Europe, Parts Of Northern Europe'

A new analysis by the site Breaking Defense suggests Iran may be developing a new missile variant that is designed to strike Europe's heartland and is disguising it as a space launch vehicle.

According to the analysis of the Qased space launch vehicle, it appears to have "a strong relationship to the Shahab-3 ballistic missile" and based on the recent satellite launch carried out it may in fact be used for other purposes.

This means that if the missile were to be used for military uses rather than just for space launches, it could be fired as a ballistic missile and in this case "the Qased can reach central Europe and parts of northern Europe, depending on its payload mass." -Full Report
