Highlights: NYT: Iran's missile potential has made Western countries think about defense. Earlier, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps took responsibility for attacks on Iraqi Erbil. According to the IRGC, the attacks on several targets in Erbil were carried out in response to recent terrorist attacks carried out on Iranian soil. In turn, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry stated that the shelling by Iranian forces of Iraqi Kurdistan, an autonomous region within Iraq, is an aggression against the sovereignty and security of the state. The authors of the publication noted that Iran's ability to produce drones in large quantities caught many officials in the West by surprise.

Iran's missile capabilities, demonstrated in recent strikes, have Western countries concerned about their defense.
