Tasnim news agency reports that Iran has built a hypersonic ballistic missile It is capable of reaching high speeds (up to 6,000 km/h), can enter and exit the atmosphere, and can strike advanced enemy anti-missile systems, according to Revolutionary Guard Aviation Directorate Amir Ali Hajizadeh. It is large and represents a major generational leap in the missile arena.
But so far there have been no reports of Iranian missile tests and the Islamic Republic has developed a huge domestic weapons industry in the face of international sanctions and embargoes. Iran exaggerates ‘sometimes’, says political and military analyst Daniel Bashande its weapon capacity. But concerns over Iran’s ballistic missiles led Tehran, under then-President Donald Trump, to withdraw from his 2015 nuclear deal signed with world powers in 2018.
Hajizadeh himself The development of this missile will give it a higher explosive capability He also emphasized that “the power of some missile units of the Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force will be significantly increased.”
The announcement of the new missiles came in the Austrian capital Vienna a day after renewed contacts to try to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, with Tehran demanding the lifting of US sanctions. Iran claimed it was withdrawing from its commitments at several points in the deal after withdrawing from the deal in . Canceled if US lifts sanctions and returns to deal.

In August, it announced it had deployed aircraft with these hypersonic weapons to Kaliningrad, a Russian enclave surrounded by her NATO countries in northeastern Europe.
Last week, Iran announced that it had tested its first three-stage space rocket, the Ghaem 100, capable of carrying 80 kg. A satellite orbiting 500 km above the Earth’s surface, according to state media. This follows Iran’s announcement on November 5 that it had successfully test-flighted a rocket capable of launching a satellite into space.
In response, the United States expressed concern that these launches could boost Iran’s ballistic missile technology and even potentially deliver nuclear warheads. March, Washington imposes sanctions on Iran’s missile activityIn a statement, it said the corrective action followed “the recent missile attacks on Iran’s Arbil, Iraq, and missile attacks by Iranian officials on Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.” “These attacks are a reminder that Iran’s development and proliferation of ballistic missiles pose a serious threat to regional and international security,” it added.
After weeks of denial, Iran finally admitted that all the hype by some Western countries that it was sending missiles and drones to Russia turned out to be untrue. The Iranian government denies it and accuses it of being false. Foreign Minister Hussein Amiravdrahian told Iran’s state news agency IRNA on Saturday that the missiles had been transferred to Moscow.
In fact, these aircraft only entered service in Ukraine last month, Russia has since deployed them extensively in attackswhich primarily opposes Ukrainian civilian infrastructure and power plants, and casts doubt on whether Tehran and Moscow can cooperate again in the future.
