Details and confirmation of these statements remain limited.

What happened

Iran announced the lifting of the 2,000-kilometer restriction on the flight range of its domestically produced missiles. At the same time, Tehran stated that, in response to a strike on its territory, it has taken into its sights a US radar located in Bahrain. Both statements were made in the weekly 'Geopolitics' broadcast on Kun.uz, dedicated to a review of the week's international topics.

Context and what remains unclear

The lifting of the range limit formally removes the self-imposed restriction on the development and use of missiles capable of flying farther than 2,000 kilometers — meaning that targets across much of the Middle East, including US bases in the region, fall within the potential reach of Iranian missiles. The statement about the radar in Bahrain is presented as a retaliatory measure for a strike on Iranian territory; who exactly carried out this strike and what its consequences were are not specified in the available materials. For now, this concerns public statements by Tehran: their practical implementation and the US reaction have not been confirmed by separate sources.
