On the seventh day of the operation launched by Israel and the USA against Iran, the Tehran administration deployed its "qualified" weapon from the highest segment of its military capacity to the front. The Revolutionary Guards announced that they targeted Ben Gurion Airport, Israel's main transportation hub, and Air Base 27 with Khorramshahr-4 missiles.
The war between the USA, Israel, and Iran has entered its 7th day, with clashes on the front becoming increasingly intense.
Iran's state television announced that a new missile was used for the first time in the recent attack on Tel Aviv. The statement indicated that a previously unused weapon was deployed in the latest missile strike carried out as part of Iran's increasing military response.
TEL AVIV TARGETED
The statement expressed that the missile used in the attack was the Khorramshahr-4 (Khaybar), which is considered one of Iran's most powerful ballistic missiles. Iranian officials claimed that this missile targeted Tel Aviv and "was able to penetrate deeply into the significant centers of the Zionist regime."
LOW PROBABILITY OF DETECTION BY RADAR
The Khorramshahr-4, which is reported to have a range of approximately 2,000 kilometers and a capacity to carry 1,500 kilograms of explosives, can be launched quickly thanks to its liquid fuel technology. The Iranian side claimed that the probability of the missile being detected by radar systems has been reduced and that it stands out with advanced engineering features.
Officials also stated that the missile has advanced guidance systems and can be controlled during the approach phase to the target. This feature could pose a serious challenge for air defense systems.
ATTACK INITIATED WITH DRONES
According to a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the targets of the attack included Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion Airport, and the base of the 27th Squadron of the Israeli Air Force located within the airport. The Iranian side claimed that these points were directly targeted.
The Revolutionary Guards also announced that the operation was initiated with attack drones (UAVs) sent as pioneers, followed by the deployment of strategic missiles. Iran claimed that the missiles used managed to overcome the multi-layered air defense systems established by Israel in the occupied territories.
CLAIM OF "OVERCOMING SEVEN-LAYERED DEFENSE"
The statement suggested that the strategic missiles successfully passed through the seven-layered air defense system consisting of regional and internal defense systems of the occupied territories. The Iranian side stated that the attacks had "turned into a real hell for the aggressive forces."
