Iranian Missiles Could Have Targeted DC and US Cities Through Venezuelan Proxies Before Trump Move

Iranian interior secretary warns that Iranian missiles could have hit DC from Venezuela before Trump's move, citing potential proxy use.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum warned that Iranian missiles could have hit Washington D.C. and other major US cities through proxies in Venezuela before President Trump's move to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal. The warning suggests that Iran had access to intermediate-range ballistic missiles via Venezuelan intermediaries at some point before Trump's decision. This raises concerns about the capabilities of Iranian proxies and their potential for carrying out attacks on US soil. Burgum did not specify exactly when or how long the missiles were present in Venezuela.
