Iran says its forces have carried out attacks using hypersonic missiles and drones against US and Israeli targets as the regional war escalates. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed the strikes were part of its ongoing military campaign against what it described as “aggressors.”
According to Iranian statements, the operation involved advanced missiles and UAVs aimed at strategic sites linked to US and Israeli assets. Tehran has repeatedly warned that it possesses high-speed missile systems capable of penetrating air defence networks.
Iran has previously unveiled missiles such as the Fattah series, which it describes as hypersonic weapons capable of travelling at extremely high speeds and manoeuvring to evade missile defences, though analysts have debated the actual operational capability of these systems.
The claims come amid the expanding conflict between Iran, Israel and the United States, with both sides reporting strikes on military infrastructure across the region.
