SPIEGEL Germany: Tehran said Iran posed no threat to other countries in the region and that the maneuvers were only to prepare for possible attacks.

For them, the maneuvers and the entire Iranian military and missile program pose a threat to the Persian Gulf region, where about 40 percent of the world’s crude oil shipments are transported. There are also concerns that Iran could strike at Israel with its medium-range missiles with a range of up to 2,200 kilometers.
