What’s in Iran's ballistic missile arsenal? | BBC News

Israel says Iran has launched more than 180 missiles towards the country, starting on 1 October, in a large-scale attack that has further heightened fears of an all-out regional war.

Iranian state TV said Iran had fired 200 missiles, including hypersonic weapons, towards Israel.

This week’s Security Brief explored the capabilities and ranges of Iran's ballistic missiles, considering the high cost and possible resupply constraints.

" Which will open Syria for targeting by Israel" really? Israel has been targeting Syria for years. Where have you been mr. Analyst?

I trust my eyes. Most of those hypersonic missiles were not intercepted.

[wisepundit]

I'm not taking sides—just analysing the facts. The notion that Iran’s missiles either missed or were intercepted is far from reality. In fact, 30 missiles successfully hit Israeli soil, exposing vulnerabilities in the Iron Dome, which struggled to counter a barrage of 180 low-cost missiles. The system, despite its high cost, was overwhelmed. This conflict is more than Iran versus Israel; it's Iran versus a coalition of global powers, including the U.S., U.K., France, and more... In this strategic game of chess, Iran appears to be making calculated moves—and winning. Facts over fiction.

When he started measuring distances from Tehran, I figured out the analysis is going to be a serious bullshit.

[amabeza]

They took down most of the missiles 😂😂😂😂. Cmon buddy. We are all adults, we saw what we saw.

[bl-wl]

The iron dome doesn't intercept ballistic missiles.

[faizzaidi]

BBC: we have a missile expert in our studio.
Audience: No, you don't.

[abubakarhassan]

This guy doesn't know anything about Iranian missile capability at all his knowledge is outdated.

[strategic]

I have to say, morally and ethically, I'm increasingly compelled to side with Iran.

[Delos-]

OK this troll seriously confused the Iranian and Pakistani system simply because they have the same name. The Pakistani system is 400km rocket artilery whereas the Iranian system is hypersonic with 1000km+ range. Well done BBC!

[AwaisKakar-iz]

BBC comparing the Pakistani Fattah rocket system with Iranian Fattah missile system. They think both are the same 😂.

[cooloptic]

The distance between countries is not the distance between their capitals, but the distance between the closest points on their borders. A dubious expert.

[VoiceSriLanka]

No wonder British 🇬🇧 military is in decline 📉 now. 😂😂
What an expert he is

[jason]

He flew helicopter what does he he know about ballistic weapons lolll 😂

[rehanahmad]

The "Analyst" doesn't know the difference between the Fattah 2 Rocket system of Pakistan and Fattah 2 Hypersonic Missile of Iran. The Stupidity is on another level.

[AwaisKakar-iz]

A 400km single stage Rocket system and 1400 km double stage hypersonic missile system is same according to the experts of the BBC😂.

[grahamstevenson]

The missiles weren't being fired from Tehran. Why on earth is that even mentioned ?

[copaloadofthis]

Ladies and Gentlemen ... This quality analysis is why the BBC deserves continual funding...

[andiharlem]

In my English 101 class, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. They landed

[Toptrump]

He fails to mention that going after oil may do economic harm to Iran.
But fails to mention that it will disrupt the planet economically.
