The head of the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency said last week that Iran is developing longer-range missiles.

“According to the Defense Intelligence Agency, if you look at the reports that they have been testifying to along with some of the intelligence reports that we can’t go into here, there’s good evidence that they are developing longer and longer-range missiles and that they are planning to have this capability over the near future,” said Air Force Lt. Gen. Henry Obering July 15.

Obering said intelligence community assessments indicated that by 2015 to 2017 Iran “may even have a missile that could reach the United States, which is an ICBM-class missile.”
