Top U.S. General in the Middle East Warns Iran Has 3,000 Ballistic Missiles
(VOA News) Jeff Seldin - U.S. Central Command's Gen. Kenneth "Frank" McKenzie told lawmakers Tuesday that Iran now has about 3,000 ballistic missiles, some of which are capable of hitting the Israeli city of Tel Aviv. "Over the last five to seven years...they have invested heavily in their ballistic missile program," McKenzie said. "Their missiles have significantly greater range and significantly enhanced accuracy," he added, describing the advancement of Iran's missile program as "remarkable." McKenzie further warned that Tehran has made major progress in developing long-range drones and land-attack cruise missiles, designed to hit predetermined fixed or mobile ground-based targets.
