The capability of Iran to launch missiles capable of reaching distant Western capitals such as London and Paris is a subject of ongoing expert analysis and debate. While some defense analysts suggest that Iran’s advancements in ballistic missile technology might extend its range to such targets, there is a strong consensus that any such launch would be met with robust defensive measures. Interception systems deployed by allied nations are considered highly effective and would likely neutralize any incoming Iranian projectiles long before they reached their intended destinations. Consequently, the practical risk of Iranian missiles successfully striking these European cities is assessed as being very low. This assessment is based on current technological capabilities for both missile delivery and defensive interception.
