Besides its well-documented nuclear ambitions, Iran “is reportedly trying to extend the reach of its short and medium-range missiles, some of which could later be supplied to one of its main allies in the Middle East – Hizbullah.
“Reports in the foreign and Hebrew press noted that Iran, under the auspices of Syria, had already armed Hizbullah with upgraded versions of Katyusha rockets that have ranges of 43 km – 75 km.
“These versions, known as the Farj 3 and Farj 5, which were allegedly developed by Iranian weapons experts with the aid of North Korea, have been transported to Hizbullah in Lebanon via Syria, reportedly with the blessing of Syrian President Bashar Assad.”
