Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh said, according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.farsnews.com\/newstext.aspx?nn=13970919000867\" target=_blank>Fars news agency<\/a>. \u201cThe number 2,000 kilometers is not a divine decree \u2026 what has been decided until today is based on our needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hajizadeh noted that many \u201cenemy bases\u201d were located 300 to 800 kilometers from the country\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The remarks, to Iranian university students in Tehran, came days after the U.S. and Iran traded accusations over Tehran\u2019s latest ballistic missile test \u2014 and amid accusations that Tehran tested a missile that can reach European countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. President Donald Trump in August reactivated economic sanctions on Iran after leaving a multilateral Iran nuclear deal because the deal did not ban Iran\u2019s testing of ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Dec. 1, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Iran of test-firing a medium-range ballistic missile capable of carrying \u201cmultiple warheads,\u201d in violation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231. The missile \u201callows it to strike parts of Europe and anywhere in the Middle East,\u201d Pompeo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iranian officials have since said that Iran has no plans to develop nuclear weapons, and in a recent news release, it called America\u2019s withdrawal from the nuclear deal as \u201cunlawful.\u201d Iranian officials in recent days have stressed the precision-striking power of the country\u2019s arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.N. Security Council subsequently discussed the matter behind closed doors without taking action. However, Britain\u2019s U.N. ambassador, Karen Pierce, told reporters afterward that members expressed \u201ca lot of concern\u201d about the test launch and said the 2015 resolution doesn\u2019t say nuclear weapons must be on the missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She called Iran\u2019s actions \u201cinconsistent\u201d with the resolution and \u201cpart and parcel of Iran\u2019s destabilizing activity in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you wanted to demonstrate to the international community that you were a responsible member of it and you were genuinely interested in regional peace and security, these are not the sorts of missiles you would be test launching,\u201d Pierce said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis recently said that \u201cright now the strategic level of threat from Iran is less worldwide than (North) Korea\u2019s, but it is certainly significant regionally, and it could grow beyond that if it\u2019s not dealt with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>The Associated Press contributed to this
