<p>The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it has launched its hypersonic missile, the Fattah-1, at Israel—marking what appears to be the weapon’s first deployment in the ongoing conflict. The missile, originally unveiled in 2023, was named by Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.</p>
<p>According to the IRGC, this strike formed part of the 11th wave of Operation Honest Promise 3. The force claimed that the operation, executed with Fattah-1 missiles, had enabled Iran to achieve “complete control over the skies of the occupied territories”, as per a report on NDTV.</p>
<h3>What Is Fattah-1 Missile?</h3>
<p>Developed by the IRGC and revealed to the world in June 2023, the Fattah-1 is a medium-range hypersonic ballistic missile. It has been specifically engineered to evade cutting-edge defense systems such as Israel’s Iron Dome and Arrow, with Iranian officials referring to it as the “Israel-striker.”</p>
<p>The missile is capable of reaching speeds between Mach 13 and 15—around 15,000 km/h—and has a range of approximately 1,400 kilometers (about 870 miles). It carries a substantial warhead, estimated between 350–450 kg, and is believed to be equipped for conventional payloads, according to reports. While speculation about nuclear capability persists, no official confirmation has been made.</p>
