According to The Times newspaper, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has for the first time handed over modern short-range and long-range ballistic missiles to pro-Iranian Shiite militants in Iraq. Moreover, the latter, according to sources, are capable of hitting targets in Europe. This is possibly the first time that long-range surface-to-surface missiles have been placed at the disposal of a group linked to Iran in Iraq.
The delivery allegedly took place last week, according to Western intelligence. If the information is confirmed, it could mean a strategic forward deployment for a second strike in the event of an attack on Iran. Earlier, US President Donald Trump threatened to destroy Iran by September.
