Two Iranian ballistic missiles in the sky.

IRAN’S twisted regime was attempting to produce a terrifying two-tonne warhead which could obliterate London, Israel has warned.

The Israeli foreign ministry reported that Tehran was allegedly attempting to create the largest collection of ballistic missiles globally, potentially enabling them to launch widespread devastation.

Authorities in Tel Aviv announced that they had effectively disrupted Iran’s attempt to become the leading producer of ballistic missiles, in cooperation with Donald Trump, through tactical airstrikes conducted on June 13.

The US struck Iran’s nuclear programme and hit key nuke sites which were ordered by Trump who said they had “obliterated” the targets.

Moreover, Israeli officials, who collaborated with the US to deploy “bunker buster” bombs, disclosed that they had an additional goal during the strikes over the weekend.

Oren Marmorstein, a spokesman for Israel’s foreign ministry said: “We actually acted because of two existential threats.

“One was nuclear, and we acted when we did because Iran was at the 11th hour of being able to build a bomb. But the other was the ballistic threat.”

Tehran already boasted a concerning number of ballistic weapons prior to the conflict with US intelligence saying they had around 3,000 at their disposal.

The latest Israeli intelligence though had pointed towards a much more dire figure emerging if Iran wasn’t stopped.

They claimed the regime was actively working on increasing production to over 20,000 ballistic missiles.

Some even had a payload of one or two tonnes, Marmorstein said.

The spokesman detailed the destruction which one missile could cause saying just last week, prior to the agreed ceasefire, four people were killed in the southern Israeli town of Beersheba in a missile strike.

“Imagine if Tehran sent 10,000 of those,” Marmorstein added.

“That threat was as existential to us as a nuclear bomb.

“They were moving into industrial scale and about to become the number one ballistic missile producer in the world.

“Some of these are intercontinental, which are not for us.”

He claimed these would have been able to reach into Europe with capitals such as London, Berlin and Paris all at risk.

“They were getting closer and closer, almost to the point of no return,” Marmorstein said.

Israel managed to wipe out dozens of missiles with more than half of their 300 missile-launchers also destroyed.

A strike also targeted the military facility in Yazd which houses Iran’s heaviest missile, known as the Khorramshahr.

The weapon is regarded as a copy of a North Korean missile carrying a two-ton warhead.

The war in the Middle East lasted just 12 days as it quickly turned into a major conflict when Trump decided to strike the Iranian nuclear sites.

The attacks helped to end the war with both Israel and Iran quickly declaring they had won the fight – despite Iran suffering a major blow to their nuclear capabilities.

Despite a ceasefire being agreed, Trump has said he would “absolutely” consider bombing Iran again if it was ever needed.

He told reporters in the White House he would “without question” attack the country if US intelligence pointed towards Iran enriching uranium to concerning levels.

It comes as Iran held a funeral for the commanders wiped out in the war.

The event was severely plagued by “Death to America” chants and the burning of Israeli flags across the day.

Britain can never be safe against the threat of Iran if they aren’t stopped

By Chief Foreign Reporter, Katie Davis

BRITAIN will never be safe until Iran’s nuclear scheme is completely wiped out, Israel’s ambassador told The Sun.

Tzipi Hotovely said Israel did the UK a “huge service” by wiping out the rogue state’s efforts to create a nuke weapon.

The diplomat said: “The Israeli people know they’re facing a very radical enemy like the British people were fighting in the Second World War and that they must get to the point where it’s being defeated.

The Iranians have proven they have no interest in diplomacy. They were just using diplomacy to keep on running their nuclear programme.

“And President Trump kind of lost patience with this type of behaviour. He said it clearly, I don’t want Iran to have nuclear weapons.

“We gave a chance to diplomacy. We backed up the American diplomatic plan – 60 days expired.

“They didn’t come to the table. That’s what the Prime Minister said, they want to blow up the table, not to sit next to it.

“And we are now certain that once this military operation is over, the world, the Middle East, Israel, Europe, everyone will have a safer world.

“This is a war to end wars, not to begin wars.”
