from the direction of the mssile and by using available landmarks I was able to geo locate this video to the settlement of Tel Be'er Sheba [31.247450620049296, 34.846910962800614]

Using Streetview we can see the landmarks captured in the video, namely the gas station:

The unique fence captured by the camera man:

Based on above we can safely presume this was the location the video was shot - we then measured the distance from the site to airbase and run some basic calculations into a blast simulator:

For sake of ease I have just used the payload as being composed of TNT - the charge payload is set to 600 Kg the maximum for a Zolfaghar missile and I have set the distance to 337 meters. So based on this the time of arrival for the blast wave at a payload of 600 kg of TNT over 337 meters = 906.10 ms.

We now use the following formula; Distance = Speed of sound x Time Delay

We know that the speed of sound is approx 340–343 meters per second. Based on this we take the time of the impact flash at 0:01 and the time of the audible explosion at 0:11 seconds using above formula within these parameters we get a result of 3,400 meters per second or approx. 11,154 Feet Per second.

Based on this the missile was travelling at hypersonic speeds of 7,500 miles per hour or March 9.8 - the delay you get in the light flash and the sound is because light is always faster than sound.

I hope this helps answer the question.

Also here is a rough idea of the lethality of this missile if it struck open space "Like Israelis will likely claim":

Ok so in short what I thought was secondary explosion was a sonic boom in simple terms

I think he said that a week ago but we will see they will probably attempt to bomb any location they believe Iran has defenses on the coast but to be fair I don’t think a lot of these tankers are going to risk it
