That's close to a third of the way around the world. 7800 miles. 14+ hours. You'd need one of the extended range B777 models for that.

Also, you'd have used up most of your fuel by arrival, so you'd probably want to bring along some extra special cargo to justify the effort. In that case, Tehran might be a better intermediate destination than Mogadishu.

And Tehran-to-dc is ...... closer with a refuel there....
