Has Iran Built 10,000 KM ICBM Missile Capable Of Striking US, Europe And Israel? | World News
Teheran: Iran stunned the world with the latest missile allegations. A Iranian deputy said that a new viral video showing the launch of missiles depicts a successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). The missile is reported to be built using the Satellite Starting Tool (SLV) technology, which is part of Iran’s space program. The range exceeds 10,000 kilometers and can access the United States and Europe.
However, the accuracy of the claim remains uncertain.
What is ICBM?

An ICBM is a long -range ballistic missile that can hit targets more than 5,500 kilometers away. It passes through the air and goes down to the target. It can carry nuclear war titles.
Iran claims that this new missile uses SLV technology initially designed for space program.
Iranian deputy, this test represents the country’s most advanced missile, he said. The video shows the smoke trails presented as proof of launch.
Experts remain skeptical. According to the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA, 2025), Tehran can develop an operational ICBM until 2035.
Currently, Iran has medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs) such as Khorramshahr-4 and Fateh-2.
ICBMs have no confirmed proof.
The Arms Control Association (2025) says Iran’s SLV program (Simorgh) can be redesigned for ICBMs, but remains in the prototype stage.
Iran has more than 3,000 missiles, but no confirmed ICBM.
Iran’s missile arsenal
- Short December (SRBM): 300-1,000 km, for example, Shahab-1 (330 km)
- Medium Range (Mrbm): 1,000-3,000 km, for example, KHORRAMSHAHR-4 (2,000 km, 1,500 kg war title)
- ICBM claim: 10,000+ km.
DIA says Iran will need foreign aid, such as North Korea to develop an operational ICBM. In 2025, Iran reportedly launched 500 missiles in Israel. The missile program dates back to 1980.
Who’s at risk?
If Iran has a claim, it may threaten a missile of more than 10,000 km:
- Middle East: Israel (1,500 km), Saudi Arabia (1,200 km), UAE (1,000 km)
- Europe: France, Germany, the United Kingdom (3,000-4,000 km)
- Asia: India (2,500 km, outside the ICBM series), Pakistan (1,500 km)
- United States: East Coast Cities, including New York and Washington (in 10,000 km range)
Iran focuses on Israel and the United States. In the 2025 Israel-Iranian conflict, the country launched 500 missiles in Israel.
An operational ICBM adds us and can risk Bahrain. Iran’s SLV program serves as an ICBM test bed that violates UN sanctions.
Concerns and sanctions
The United States and Israel issued warnings. DIA analysts estimate that Iran can reach ICBM ability by 2035.
The United Nations continues sanctions on Iran’s missile program. Israel hit Iran missile areas in June 2025.
Iran insists that the program is defensive. Experts, including USIP (2025), pay attention that successful ICBM development can increase tensions in the Middle East and Europe.
Reality control
Iran’s ICBM claim increases concern, but the evidence is limited. If confirmed, the US, Europe and Israel are faced with an important threat.
India is outside the range of the missile, but regional stability may be affected. Experts believe that international diplomacy and sanctions are the key to the rise of Iran and Iran’s missile targets.
