IRNA reports Iran's unveiling of 2,000 km ballistic missile.
Iran unveiled its fourth-generation Khorramshahr ballistic missile, Khaibar, with a range of 2,000 km and a 1,500 kg warhead. Despite opposition from the US and concerns from European countries, Iran has expanded its missile program, claiming it is purely defensive. The US charged a Chinese national for violating US sanctions by providing materials used to produce ballistic missiles to Iran. Reports suggest that Iran may have named its missile after an anti-Jewish battle, which has raised concerns about the potential for anti-Semitic sentiment.
