IRAN’S twisted regime was attempting to produce a terrifying two-tonne warhead which could obliterate London, Israel has warned.
was said to be trying to build up the world’s biggest ballistic missile arsenal to help them launch a global tirade of destruction, according to the foreign ministry.
Officials in Tel Aviv said they successfully thwarted Iran‘s plan to become the largest ballistic missile producer on the planet in on June 13.
The and hit key nuke sites which were ordered by Trump who said they had “obliterated”; the targets.
But Israeli officials, who helped to orchestrate the “bunker buster”; bombs with the US, have now revealed they also had a second objective in the weekend strikes.
Oren Marmorstein, a spokesman for Israel’s foreign ministry said: “We actually acted because of two existential threats.
“One was nuclear, and we acted when we did because Iran was at the 11th hour of being able to build a bomb. But the other was the ballistic threat.”;
Tehran already boasted a concerning number of ballistic weapons prior to the conflict with US intelligence saying they had around 3,000 at their disposal.
The latest Israeli intelligence though had pointed towards a much more dire figure emerging if Iran wasn’t stopped.
They claimed the regime was actively working on increasing production to over 20,000 ballistic missiles.
Some even had a payload of one or two tonnes, Marmorstein said.
The spokesman detailed the destruction which one missile could cause saying just last week, prior to the , four people were killed in the southern Israeli town ofBeersheba in a missile strike.
“Imagine if Tehran sent 10,000 of those,”; Marmorstein added.
“That threat was as existential to us as a nuclear bomb.
“They were moving into industrial scale and about to become the number one ballistic missile producer in the world.
“Some of these are intercontinental, which are not for us.”;
He claimed these would have been able to reach into with capitals such as , Berlin and all at risk.
“They were getting closer and closer, almost to the point of no return,”; Marmorstein said.
Israel managed to wipe out dozens of missiles with more than half of their 300 missile-launchers also destroyed.
A strike also targeted the military facility in Yazd which houses Iran’s heaviest missile, known as the Khorramshahr.
The weapon is regarded as a copy of a North Korean missile carrying a two-ton warhead.
The war in the Middle East lasted just 12 days as it quickly turned into a major conflict when Trump decided to strike the Iranian nuclear sites.
The attacks helped to end the war with both Israel and Iran quickly declaring they had won the fight – despite Iran suffering a major blow to their nuclear capabilities.
Despite a ceasefire being agreed, Trump has said he would “absolutely”; consider bombing Iran again if it was ever needed.
He told reporters in the he would “without question”; attack the country if US intelligence pointed towards Iran enriching uranium to concerning levels.
It comes as for the commanders wiped out in the war.
The event was severely plagued by “Death to America”; chants and the burning of Israeli flags across the day.
