“Israel could stop only five out of 200 missiles”: Iran boasts its new advanced weaponry
Arutz Sheva ^ | 5/5/25

Iran asserts it has stationed missiles nationwide capable of dodging American defense systems.

As reported by Iran International, the country this week unveiled a new ballistic missile named Qasem Basir, with a range of 1,200 kilometers, and warned that American military bases across the Middle East fall within its scope.

According to the publication, that was reported in Globes, Iran’s Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh stated the upgraded missile, powered by solid fuel, was engineered to circumvent modern air defense systems—particularly the American THAAD system, which was recently installed in Israel.

Nasirzadeh declared on Iranian state TV that the missile’s improved technology allows it to breach high-level air defenses. He offered a stark projection: “With the latest upgrade, Israel will intercept no more than five out of 200 missiles.”

Directing a message toward Arab nations hosting U.S. troops, Nasirzadeh clarified, “We hold no animosity toward our neighboring nations—they are like sisters—but US military installations are our targets.”

The Iranian article notes that Qasem Basir missiles have already been placed across Iran’s hidden missile bases, signaling preparation for potential regional conflict escalation.

For over two years, Iranian hackers managed to operate unnoticed within critical infrastructure networks across the Middle East. They monitored, collected data, and embedded themselves deeply, navigating security layers without interference. These findings were disclosed in a thorough Hacker News investigation.

Investigators claim the objective was to access the physical control systems—the same systems that run utilities like water and electricity facilities.

“This cyber campaign is among the most complex ever discovered in the region,” noted security professionals at Fortinet, the company that released the investigation’s detailed report.

The hackers, identified as the Lemon Sandstorm group, not only infiltrated but continuously adapted their tactics, upgraded their arsenal, and learned to bypass every defense.

I expect that Israel and the US have their own hackers.

And Iran can’t stop any missiles out of any missiles. LOL

Iran exist because Reagan decided to not wipe them off the face of the earth. Successive administrations including Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama and Biden have put up with them and their terroristic nonsense... But there are limits and the leaders of Iran do not want to go there, especially with the Donald in charge.

Israel’s Iron Dome system calculates the impact site and if it’s in a rural area or non inhabited place they don’t bother to shoot it down. Saves a ton of missile hardware shooting down useless missiles...........

That would be a death wish.

Imagine what Iran would do if they had a nuclear weapon. They are convinced that their ‘Mahdi’ is here and will be announced very soon. Meantime, time is out for Israel and America.

Until we stop giving away our tech (via people like Clinton and Soetero) and allowing foreigners to come and go to school here and work in military contractor industries we will continue to lose our tech advantage every time we come up with new stuff.

I believe that He has warned them as he warned the Pharoah. And Pharoah did not listen. They have had their warnings.

Why doesn’t Israel just flatten Tehran and get it over with?

Enough of these raggedy people - they’re a cancer on the world.

How Strike Eagles, Adirs, or Vipers have the Persians shot down? Oh yeah none.

Iran should not wish for a successful missle hit on population or infrastructure. they’d end up glowing in the dark.

That is because we had an ally next door in Iraq.
Saddam was killing Iranians for years.
Thousands died in their waves of Jihadis.
Then Saddam decided to invade Kuwait and Bush got a call from the Kingdom.

“giving away our tech”

Smart people can figure stuff out if given time and money.

“Imagine what Iran would do if they had a nuclear weapon.”

I believe Iran could easily make about 20 from the concentrated U-235 they have.

I don’t think a nuclear tipped Iranian missile could get through the Israeli defenses despite Iranian claims.

Israeli retaliation would be most unpleasant.
