Israel's Foreign Ministry published an informative map showing the possible range of Iranian ballistic missiles, arguing that Tehran's military capacity goes beyond the Middle East and even touches parts of Europe.
On the map, Iran is depicted as a central point from which several rays extend, covering a wide geographical area: from the Middle East to parts of Southeastern and Central Europe. According to the message accompanying the graphic, “Iran’s ballistic capability extends beyond the Middle East” and the Iranian regime is depicted as a factor threatening international stability.
According to defense analysts, most Iranian ballistic missiles are medium-range, typically between 1,000 and over 2,000 kilometers. Models such as the Shahab-3, Ghadr-110, Emad, or Khorramshahr can reach targets at ranges of up to 2,000 kilometers, covering much of the region and parts of eastern and southeastern Europe.

This distance includes countries in the eastern Mediterranean, Turkey, parts of Central Europe, and some areas of Southeast Europe. Some recently published analyses also mention cities such as Vienna, Budapest, and Warsaw as areas that could theoretically fall within this range.
In this context, the Balkan region is also seen in some theoretical scenarios as part of the space that can be covered by medium-range missiles, depending on the launch location and the type of missile. However, experts emphasize that these maps indicate possible technical capabilities, not concrete targets.
Iran is considered to have the largest arsenal of ballistic missiles in the Middle East and has invested for years in developing these systems as part of its military deterrence strategy.
The publication of the map by Israeli diplomacy comes at a time of high tensions in the region and aims to highlight the global dimension of the debate over Iran's missile program. At the same time, security experts emphasize that any such scenario depends on many military and political factors and does not necessarily pose an immediate threat to Europe.
