Iran is clearly trying to show off that it now has a missile that can threaten the whole Middle East, and likely reach Europe.
Iran’s claim to have developed a weapon capable of reaching Tel Aviv in 400 seconds represents a clear objective for the Islamic Republic.
Iran announced the missile during state ceremonies marking the anniversary of a 1982 battle at Khorramshahr, part of their brutal war with Iraq.
Iran has expanded its missile program, particularly its ballistic missiles, despite opposition from the US and expressions of concern by European countries.
Iran’s drones are in the spotlight because they brazenly shipped them to Russia, coming under sanctions targeting its drones as a result.
With a range of 8 km, the Sadid-365 missile is capable of obliterating any armored equipment that it targets, according to Mehr news.
Iran is now approaching a kind of “what’s next” issue. Where does it go from here? Let’s look at the recent news.
The latest attack on 'Campo Square' follows the November 15 attack on the Pacific Zircon which was carried out by a drone launched from Chabahar.
One of the biggest dangers of Iranian drones is how they are proliferated to various non-state actors throughout the Middle East.
The Tasnim report noted that this “mysterious” missile has been used in many places, all of them linked to pro-Iran forces around the Middle East.
