I just saw a news report saying the Iranian supreme leader has turned over his power to the Iranian Republican Guard Corp. This would explain them launching these type bigger missiles.

The panic is that Israel is near to running out of defensive missiles.

The “supreme” leader is most likely in China now.

Act of desperation on Iran’s part.

9974.499 miles per hour

10,000 mph missiles?

So, they ran out of their cheap short range stuff.

Interesting.👍

What I would be concerned about right now is, Iran could be in its last days of existence, what capabilities could they have we don’t know about.

We know they have enriched uranium to near weapons grade, could they put enough of that enriched uranium into one of these missiles and launch it at Israel as a type of dirty bomb.

If Iran is on its knees, they might be desperate enough to launch a dirty bomb at Israel and not be concerned with a real nuclear bomb coming back at them.

In some circles, this is referred to as "regime change".

Or they are running out of munitions and having to use whatever they have left.

I think this signals that Iran is running out of more conventional missiles. Why use a missile with a 2000 km range when Israel is within 900 km of Iran? They can fire from the other side of the country, true.

The advantage of this missile is its ability to evade intercept. We will see how effective it is.

So maybe the ancient Iranians fired these rockets at Israel too.

In other news, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that launched the Sejil medium‑range ballistic missiles are now dead after Israel targeted the launch sites. This is a historic first for these missile crew members.

Not to worry, 47 gave the Iranians 2 more weeks to tear into Israel and finish their nuclear program. Now with IRGC running things, there will be a rush order to complete a nuke and mount it on one of their Zuljanah missiles, targeting NYC or Chicago.
