Friday Sermon In Yasuj, Iran By Khamenei's Representative Nassir Hosseini: Iran's New Ghaem-100 Satellite Launcher Is Also An ICBM That Can Target The U.S.

Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei's representative in the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, Nassir Hosseini, said in a Friday, November 11, 2022 sermon in Yasuj, Iran that Iran's new Ghaem-100 satellite missile launcher can also function as an ICBM that can strike the United States, as well as targets in space. He explained that the missile has a range of 12,000 kilometers, which is enough to reach the United States, and he said that this is a "message" for Iran's enemies. He added that Iran's enemies, and particularly Israel, England, the U.S, and the "criminal Saud clan," know that if they make "even the slightest mistake," Iran's response will be "harsh and destructive."

Nassir Hosseini: "The other Iranian missile that was launched is Ghaem-100, which is an intercontinental missile and a satellite carrier that uses solid fuel. This was a message for the enemies of this people and this land. The range of this missile is about 12,000 km, whereas the distance from here to America is about 11,000 km. [Surely you] realize the implications… It can even target military satellites in space. This demonstrates the power of this revolution and regime. Our enemies have realized that if they make the slightest mistake, our response will be harsh and destructive.
