Iran’s Missile Extends Strategic Threat to EuropeKhorramshahr-4 reaches 4000 km, carrying 1000 kg warheads, putting Germany within striking distance for the first time.
- The Khorramshahr-4 missile surpasses previous range estimates, now able to strike targets up to 4000 kilometers away, including parts of Europe.
- Its mobile launch platforms and cluster warhead enhance its threat level to military bases such as those in Germany.
- Derived from North Korean tech, the missile was downsized to double its range while maintaining significant destructive capacity.
- Germany is currently developing missile defense with Israel’s Arrow system, which has achieved initial operational capability but is not yet fully operational.

- The discussion about supplying Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine has resurfaced due to Friedrich Merz's recent proposal.
- Merz views the Taurus as a crucial means of aiding Ukraine against Russia, while Olaf Scholz opposes the delivery to prevent Germany's involvement in the conflict.
- The coalition parties SPD and Union hold differing views on the Taurus supply, with Merz pushing for rapid European coordination and skepticism remaining within the SPD.
- If delivered, Taurus missiles could allow Ukraine to target military sites in Russian territory, contingent upon the approval of Western allies.
I am not convinced that Putin will respond positively to weakness and peace offerings; he must eventually recognize the hopelessness of this war - for that, we must help Ukraine.— Friedrich Merz, likely future Chancellor, in the ARD program "Caren Miosga".
