Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran May Be Pairing Ballistic Missiles With Chemical Warheads, Israeli Adviser Warns
2026-02-24
[RedState] For years, the fight over Iran has centered on centrifuges, uranium stockpiles, and enrichment percentages. That framework may now be outdated. If the latest assessments are accurate, Tehran is not merely edging back toward nuclear capability but pairing advanced ballistic missiles with alleged chemical and biological payload potential. That is not incremental pressure. It is strategic escalation.

Israeli military adviser Amir Avivi said the Islamic Republic is "continuing preparations for war and the production of ballistic missiles, including chemical and biological ballistic missiles, which are very, very dangerous and need to be dealt with."

Avivi, a former IDF brigadier general who now counsels the Israeli government, described active discussions within Israel’s defense establishment about these unconventional capabilities.
