US EditionCould Iran 'soon' hit US with long-range missile? Experts doubt Trump as US bombs Iran.
The Trump administration justified strikes citing Iran's nuclear rebuild and missile threat; experts say long-range missiles are years away, and site damage verification remains limited.
- On Feb. 28, Trump said, 'Instead, they attempted to rebuild their nuclear program and to continue developing long range missiles that can now threaten our very good friends and allies in Europe, our troops stationed overseas and could soon reach the American homeland.'
- Trump's justification traces back to policy moves including the 2018 withdrawal from the nuclear deal, which had allowed monitoring, and he said Iran 'rejected every opportunity' after June 2025 strikes.
- A DIA May 2025 assessment says Iran could develop a long-range missile by 2035 if it chooses, but experts cite technical hurdles like miniaturization and surviving re-entry, with about a 10,000 km range challenge.
- The administration acted without congressional approval, and lawmakers are preparing war powers resolutions next week, while Iran retaliated against Israel and U.S. allies.
- The IAEA reports it cannot access the bombed sites, and unnamed U.S. officials said media reports overstated Iran's missile threat.

Plunder Has a Long Memory - On the Bombing of Iran
Image – Sul Nowroz On the morning of June 13, 2025 the jets took off. They were Israeli jets, carrying American-made munitions, aimed at a country that had spent decades being economically asphyxiated, its scientists assassinated, its currency gutted, its sick denied medicine. They called it Operation Rising Lion. Sit with that name for a moment – the lion, that old symbol of dominion, of empire announcing itself. The Iranian cities of Fordow, N…
