A surface to air missile that has a 1250 mile range? Riiiight.
[missiles that could strike US bases”]
I think they’re talking bases near the Persian Gulf.

Sounds like a good way to drain your treasury while shooting at Wills of the Wisp.
I think they were describing two different missiles.
“A surface to air missile that has a 1250 mile range?”
The Bavar 373 missile is a short range missile designed for targets up to 250 kilometers. Their radar system for it will go to 350 kilometers and the missile is able, with a little luck, to hit stealth aircraft and cruise missiles.
But to be honest, I have no idea how they are going to combat everything we can hand them from multiple ICBM’s to JDAM. It’s make a lot of glass from that sand.
