Yeah, UK intelligence agencies have basically said it's a non issue.

Essentially you can take any ballistic missile and double the range by making the payload smaller (or remove it entirely). That's the basis for this claim, Iran could make their existing missiles go a lot further to reach more targets but it would be pointless doing so.

So what?

This was the reaction of UK intelligence.
