Iran doesn´t need 12.000 kilometres ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons. Their entire ballistic program it is just for defensive purposses. And Iran must mantain this official statement. Everybody knows that if Iran really want in few months they can develop a nuclear device. But this is not that really Iran need.
Iran DO need 12000 Km ICBM missiles for sure, and 20000km also, other thing by now is not clever to say they have or they are having them in the future. But they DO need this capability, for sure.
Yes, for sure Iran is not in the same place as North Korea, this country the only good they have it s chinese neighbourhood that makes them be defiant with US without any consequence, really.
But Iran has entire persian gulf, Israel target, red sea target, interesting commerce routing target with India, arab sea, and even more int he south.... whenever neccesary... Iran is not North Korea, not even close, Iran is more privileged, Iran is in the middle of the world in the most important place of the world.
Iran needs to be the strongest military nation, not only in middle east. It s crazy to say otherwise, being weak or average country is not an option, with the enemies Iran has
and always will have!!!!!!!
Please, don t be naive.
People supporting other things, are a danger for Iran intigrity, honestly, there are times where you cannot be in the middle term, and must be extreme, and this is the time where it happens.
Iran, simply cannot afford to be an average country, it would be their demise.
