"The Revolutionary Guards are working on another type of missile named Ghadr with 2,500-3,000 kilometer range, which could reach Berlin, Rome, Athens, Vienna and some other capitals," Mohammad Mohaddessin, chairman of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, said. "More than 70 percent of Ghadr project has been completed so far."

Mohaddessin told a European Parliament conference on Nov. 9 in Strasbourg, France that the Ghadr was one of three Iranian intermediate-range programs that could harm Europe. He said Teheran has already been producing Shihab-3 missiles with a range of 2,000 kilometers.
