PNN – A U.S. senator described Iranian missiles as a serious threat to the United States and Israel, saying they are capable of penetrating the Israeli regime’s Iron Dome system.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing Arabi 21, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, in an interview with the Zionist newspaper The Jerusalem Post, warned about the growing missile capabilities of Iran and stressed that Iran’s ballistic missiles are now capable of penetrating Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system.
Referring to the advanced capabilities of Iran’s ballistic missiles that enable them to breach Israel’s air defense systems, he added that this progress constitutes a serious threat no less significant than Iran’s nuclear program.

Graham’s remarks were published today in The Jerusalem Post following his visit to Tel Aviv. The Republican senator described Tehran’s efforts to develop its ballistic missile program as a “strategic and growing” danger to the United States and the Zionist regime, emphasizing that if this development continues, these missiles could undermine Israel’s air defense systems, especially the Iron Dome, which is one of the most important lines of defense against missile attacks.
Graham added that this issue will be on the agenda of the upcoming meeting between Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of the Zionist regime, and U.S. President Donald Trump.
The U.S. senator emphasized strengthening the alliance between Washington and Tel Aviv, stating that any threat targeting Israel directly affects U.S. interests.
On Saturday as well, the U.S. network NBC News, citing officials of the Zionist regime, raised a new round of media hype by Tel Aviv under the pretext of the expansion of Iran’s ballistic missile defense program.
According to NBC News, officials of the Zionist regime believe that Iran is expanding its ballistic missile defense program and are preparing to raise this issue during the upcoming meeting between Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of the Zionist regime, and U.S. President Donald Trump, a matter they consider a new threat.
According to NBC News sources, part of Netanyahu’s alleged argument will be that Iran’s actions threaten not only Israel but the entire region, including U.S. interests, and it is expected that the Israeli prime minister will present options to Trump in which the United States could join or support new military operations against Iran.
