Iranian Security Official Abolfazl Zohrevand: Our Khorramshahr-5 Missiles Have A Range Of 12,000 Kilometer; 10 Missiles Can Cause Damage Equal To 2–3 Nuclear Bombs; If Attacked, We Can Retaliate In Th

Iranian MP Abolfazl Zohrevand of the Majles National Security and Foreign Policy Committee said in a July 27, 2025 interview with (Iran) that the Khorramshahr-5 missile has been upgraded, and that 10 of these missiles can cause the damage of 2–3 nuclear bombs, which he described as deterrence. He said that Iran can strike the U.S. or Canada or anywhere else on their soil if they attack Iran. Zohrevand added that the conflict between Iran and the United States will not be resolved, either both sides build up deterrence until an "Armageddon"-scale war erupts, or one side is disintegrated. He stressed that Americans know if Iran continues on this path, they will not be able to control the world, or even the United States itself. He said the only way to resolve the conflict is for Iran to grow and achieve full development in all sectors, to the point where the other side would not even dare think ill of it. Abolfazl Zohrevand: "When we say that the Khorramshahr-5 [missile] has been upgraded, and has a range of 12,000 km, a velocity of several Machs, and a 2-ton payload, and that it can hit a target with precision – do you know what this means? It means that the kind of [damage] normally caused by 2-3 nuclear bombs could also be achieved with 10 Khorramshahr-5 missiles. This is deterrence. If the U.S. or Canada or any other country plans to attack you, you can strike them back, [on their soil]. [...] "The conflict between Iran and the United States will not be resolved. Either we remain in deterrence mode, with both sides making progress until an Armageddon-scale war erupts, or one of the sides is disintegrated, divided into many parts, and wiped out. This is what the Americans are currently pursuing, because they understand [the situation] and we do not. They know that if Iran continues this path, they can forget about controlling the world. They would not even be able to control the United States. [...] "The only way to resolve the conflict between Iran and the United States is for Iran to grow continuously and achieve full development in all sectors, to the point where the other side would not even dare think ill of Iran."
