Iran has revealed its first domestically-produced hypersonic ballistic missile, according to reports from the official IRNA news agency. The missile, named Fattah, was unveiled at a ceremony attended by President Ebrahim Rahisi and top commanders of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards. The development is likely to raise concerns among Western nations about Iran’s missile capabilities. Hypersonic missiles can travel at least five times faster than the speed of sound and follow complex trajectories, making them challenging to intercept. Photos of the missile were published by Iranian state media.
