A British newspaper report about great development in Iranian missile arsenal

In an article, the British newspaper “The Independent” said about the Iranian missile developments over the past decade.

At the beginning of the article, the US government blamed Iran for the "unprecedented attack" when drones and cruise missiles targeted the largest oil facility in Saudi Arabia . But apart from the actor, what really amazed the world was the accuracy of this attack.

When the smoke from the Aramco facility fire put out, Saudi officials saw 14 large holes in the oil tanks. In reports of that attack, US analysts said the attack was a wake-up call because the evidence showed that the accuracy of missiles had improved dramatically compared to what (they say) Iran previously produced or delivered to its regional allies.

After Hajj Qassem Soleimani was martyred by a US raid near Baghdad airport, the Pentagon announced that Iran fired dozens of ballistic missiles on two American bases in Iraq. "What we have seen in Iran over the years is a change in missiles which turned from political and physiological tools to real weapons on the battlefield," said Fabian Heinz, an expert in the Iranian missile program.

US and Middle Eastern officials say Iran's advanced missiles, which have a range of 1,200 miles, can easily hit targets in occupied territories.

This remarkable defensive ability is a result of orders from the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei about a decade ago. At that time, Tehran's most advanced missiles were derivatives of Scud missiles, which were also used in the Iran-Iraq war. Since then, Iranian military factories have spent millions of dollars to build missile guidance systems, which has greatly improved the accuracy of the new missiles. According to a British Ministry of Defense official, the result of this missile force enhancement is a production line for short and medium range missiles that can carry warheads to a target with high accuracy.

The British official told The Independent: “We have witnessed a significant improvement in the accuracy of Iranian ballistic missiles.

of this missile force enhancement is a production line for short and medium range missiles that can carry warheads to a target with high accuracy.

The British official told The Independent: “We have witnessed a significant improvement in the accuracy of Iranian ballistic missiles. One of the most important of these technologies is used in the (Qiam) missiles, which have a range of 500 miles and allow the controller to adjust its direction.

In the attack on Saudi oil facilities, claimed by the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, expensive US missile defense systems failed to detect missiles and drones. Former Central Command (Centcom) Commander (Joseph Votel) admitted that Iran's missile capability has increased dramatically since the attack. Other analysts say that as long as the missile launch site is unknown, US threats of retaliation may be not serious
