Iran's Missiles within Range of US Bases and Cyprus

The French News Agency AFP has published a map illustrating US military bases and installations in the Middle East that are within the range of Iranian ballistic missiles. The map shows that Shahab-3/Emad/Ghadr, Sejjil, and Fattah missiles, with a range of 700 to 2,000 km or more, can reach significant bases such as Al Udeid in Qatar, the 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, Al Dhafra in the United Arab Emirates, Ali Al Salem in Kuwait, and Al Asad in Iraq. Cyprus is also within reach of the missiles, specifically the British bases, while other maps show the entire island within range. The publication of the map comes during a period of increased tension in the region, with the US having reinforced its presence. The range of the missiles is approximate and depends on the weight of the warhead and the flight profile. Iran has stated that any attack will be met with strikes on US targets. The publication of the map highlights the escalation of tensions between the US and Iran and the risk of regional destabilization, while highlighting the geopolitical importance of the region and the vulnerability of military bases.
