Israeli Commander’s Warning: Iran’s Missile Power Comparable to Nuclear Bombs

In a stark warning a former commander of the Israeli Air Force’s F-16 squadron Metan Kahane has asserted that Iran’s missile capabilities pose a threat equivalent to that of nuclear weapons. He emphasized that the destructive potential of Iranian missiles if they were to strike their intended targets could be likened to the devastation caused by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Kahane highlighted that Iran’s ballistic threat is not to be underestimated as it matches the dangers associated with nuclear armament. He elaborated on the explosive capacity of Iran’s missile arsenal which can carry thousands of tons of explosives—an amount that could inflict damage comparable to that of a nuclear bomb on a densely populated area. The reality of this threat underscores the significant implications for regional security.
