Overview
- An Iranian military source quoted by Al Ghad said Tehran deployed the Fattah-2 hypersonic missile against U.S. forces during recent retaliation.
- A widely circulated clip appears to show a missile eluding more than 10 interceptor rockets before hitting a target that users claim was in Jerusalem, though the footage has not been authenticated.
- Israeli authorities said several people were injured when an Iranian missile struck a major road in Jerusalem.
- The U.S. Department of Defense has offered no confirmation that hypersonic weapons were used in the strikes.
- Analysts note that, if verified, this would be Iran’s first combat use of a hypersonic system; the IRGC says Fattah-2 carries a hypersonic glide vehicle, can reach up to Mach 15, and has a range near 1,500 km.
