Israel had been practicing this for years. Attacking from Azeribajian. Raisi was also killed while flying over the mountains in that same region.

Iran spent so much time and effort focused on the Western border of Iran that they left North/Northwest border regions weak to intrusion.

The attack on Shahrud during the True Promise events also was rumored to have been cruise missiles coming from Caspian Sea.

The fact that had not completely saturated that region with radars and jammers shows the gross incompetence of this government.

Did Israel order the fog on that day too?
 
The exact problems arise when unqualified individuals with no education, experience, or expertise are placed in critical positions—problems that are magnified by nepotism and the dominance of inbred ruling clan.

Many got fooled, but what makes me mad is that reformists still believe we should keep on the same path
 
Azerbaijan Iraqi Kurdistan and UAE don't have the capabilities to launch offensive wars of conquest
It won't be a war, west will bomb any resistance and they will just come and occupy the land after. Ultimately, it will be easier for the people in occupied territory to integrate than fight if they already speak kurdish or azeri and those that don't will be ethnically cleansed. A puppet regime will be installed and will give up claims on those territories. It's the Nagorno Karabakh model... The new goal is physical dissolution of Iran, they will not give up on that now.
The only way to prevent this was to undertake a massive rearmament campaign with China's help, but even the jew bombs dropped on his head couldn't knock the gharbzadegi out of pezeshkian.

Also the UAE is a much bigger threat than we like to think. They are currently occupying Socotra, are carrying out a genocide in Sudan, and have a lot of cash for mercs and equipment. Their merc pilots can probably sink the IRIN without resistance as we saw from the poor AD performance in the recent war, and I don't think any of our air defense catamarans even have radars yet... Hell, give sanctions a few more years and they can probably just bribe the local garrison.

Iran can theoretically fire hypersonic missiles from the Afghan border.​

We look forward to seeing that famous cloud formation.

Has Iran Beaten America and Israel in the Race for Hypersonic Weapons?​

August 27, 2025
By: Brandon J. Weichert

The United States and Israel are working on high-powered lasers to counter the missile threat, but these weapons are still a long way off. Meanwhile, Iran has hypersonic missiles now.

In the modern age of instability around the world, just as one conflict seems to settle, another one rips open. In June of this year, the so-called “12-Day War” erupted between the predominantly Jewish state ( US Air Force with the Token Israelis taking credit)


and the Islamic Republic of Iran. It ended only after the United States Air Force carried out “Operation Midnight Hammer,” a technically complex attack involving B-2 Spirit long-range stealth bombers, against Iran’s suspected nuclear weapons development facilities. Even those strikes had questionable effectiveness; independent analysts speculated that they had set back Iran’s nuclear program for a period of six months to two years, but had failed to destroy it once and for all, as President Donald Trump initially proclaimed.

Israel and Iran Are on the Brink of War—Again

For the Trump administration, it was clear that the strikes were the end of the 12-Day War. But for Israel and Iran, that was merely the appetizer to the larger war. After all, both Iran and Israel have plans for regional hegemony—and both countries view each other as impediments to those grand goals.
Both Israel and Iran have been rearming and preparing for another round of hostilities since the end of the war. Trita Parsi, a vice president at the Quincy Institute, speculates that the conflict is set to resume sometime in the fall.


Toward that end, it isn’t only Israel that is on a weapons purchasing and producing spree. Iran, despite all the bombings it was subjected to in the last war, has demonstrated that its underground missile cities were mostly untouched. Further, the now-ousted Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) chief already leaked to the press that the B-2 airstrikes were not as effective against those hardened Iranian nuclear sites as the Trump administration had claimed.

Iran’s Hypersonic Weapons Arsenal

Now the Iranians are displaying their most potent weapon yet as a form of deterrence against a renewed round of airstrikes by Israel. Known as the “Acher al-Zaman” (sometimes translated as “End of Time” or “Apocalypse”), this hypersonic missile has sparked intense debates among defense analysts since it was unveiled by Iran’s military. If the Iranian claims about their new hypersonic missile are true, then, it could represent the greatest strategic threat to Israel’s security in the near future.
Iran’s hypersonic weapons development program gained traction in the early 2000s with missiles, like the Shahab-3, providing Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) with various medium-range strike options. By 2023, Iran introduced the Fattah-1 and Fattah2 hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs), boasting speeds up to Mach 15 and ranges of 869 to 1,243 miles. By maneuvering unpredictably in flight, these Iranian hypersonic weapons were designed to penetrate advanced air defenses, such as Israel’s vaunted Iron Dome and Arrow air defense networks.


The Fattah series was first combat tested in June 2025 during Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel, where hypersonic missiles reportedly overwhelmed defenses, causing significant damage to military and civilian targets. (Nothing is civilain since they place the military assets in civilian areas)
Of course, Israeli media largely declined to share this news at the time. But the significant damage—and consternation among Israeli defense officials—caused by Iran’s advanced hypersonic weapons cannot be denied anymore. And that was just a teaser of what the Iranian systems that are rapidly advancing can do.
Keep in mind that neither Israel nor the United States possess a defensive system against these weapons—the Iron Dome is intended for far slower and more rudimentary rockets, not hypersonic missiles—or their own reliable counterparts.

Iran just needs satellite information from the Chinese on the exact location of the AD batteries and they will toast within the first three days of the next war.

Understanding the

The Acher al-Zaman, Iran’s newest hypersonic weapon, was tested during Iran’s first major military drill since the 12-Day War ended. The Acher al-Zaman is a hypersonic weapon capable of carrying up to 80 warheads, each weighing 70 kilograms, for a total payload that delivers “colossal destructive power.”
Unconfirmed reports suggest the new Iranian hypersonic weapon can attain speeds exceeding Mach 12, with a range of around 3,000 kilometers, allowing it to strike targets across the region with minimal warning time. Indeed, the name “Apocalypse” underscores the weapon’s symbolic role in Iran’s military doctrine, signaling a shift in Iran’s doctrine that leverages speed and multiplicity to overwhelm adversaries.


Hypersonic missiles such as the Acher al-Zaman operate by combining ballistic trajectories with glide phases, achieving velocities five times the speed of sound. Their ability to alter course mid-flight makes them extraordinarily difficult to detect and intercept, evading radar and missile shields.


Unlike traditional ballistic missiles, which follow predictable arcs, hypersonic weapons glide through the atmosphere, reducing reaction windows for defenses to mere minutes. Iran’s advancements in solid-fuel propulsion and maneuverable reentry vehicles (MaRVs) enhance this capability, potentially rendering systems like America’s Patriot or Israel’s David’s Sling missile defenses less effective.


The threat to Israel is, therefore, acute. With a range covering the distance from Tehran to Tel Aviv, the Acher al-Zaman could reach Israeli territory in under 10 minutes, leaving little time for evacuation or countermeasures.


During the June 2025 exchanges, Iran’s use of Fattah hypersonics pierced Israeli air defenses, hitting sites in Bnei Brak and Tel Aviv, resulting in civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. The Acher al-Zaman’s multi-warhead design amplifies this risk, enabling saturation attacks that could overwhelm Israel’s multi-layered defenses.


A Warning to Israel and the United States

Analysts speculate that a full-scale barrage could target key assets like Dimona’s nuclear reactor or Haifa’s ports, escalating the conflict to existential levels. Iranian officials have framed the missile as a deterrent against Israeli aggression, but its deployment signals a strategic pivot toward offensive posturing as both sides prepare for the next round of warfare.
Equally concerning is the missile’s implications for US military bases in the Mideast. US ases in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates all fall within the range of Iran’s new hypersonic missile, making them vulnerable to rapid strikes. The US has bolstered regional defenses with the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system and carrier groups, but hypersonic weapons challenge these defensive systems. In past incidents, Iranian proxies have targeted US forces from close range with drones and missiles; the Acher al-Zaman could enable direct strikes from Iran, risking broader escalation.


A US Department of Defense assessment highlights Iran’s “large quantity” of advanced missiles as a growing threat, potentially drawing American forces into a wider war if Israel is attacked.


Skeptics, on the other hand, argue that true hypersonic mastery requires advanced materials and testing that Iran may lack. What’s more, those dubious of Iran’s claims argue that the multi-warhead feature resembles MIRV technology that Iranian forces have yet to demonstrate.


It is important to remember, though, that Iran has already demonstrated a proficient level of advancement in this domain; to dismiss the danger of the Acher al-Zaman as mere bluster would be a mistake..

What Can Israel Do Against Iran’s Hypersonic Threat?

In response to Iran’s growing hypersonic weapon threat, the Israelis are expanding their development of the Iron Beam program, which is a directed energy weapon (DEW) missile defense system. In other words, Israel is developing giant lasers that would conceivably be able to burn incoming hypersonic missiles out of the sky.

The United States, with its even larger Golden Dome initiative, is doing something similar. Yet Western militaries have struggled with developing DEWs over the decades. And many of these programs are stuck in “development hell.” Thus, it will be some time before either Israel, or the US canrely on these fantastical defenses. Meanwhile, Iran has hypersonic weapons now.

Iran’s Acher al-Zaman hypersonic missile epitomizes the escalating arms race in the Middle East, blending technological prowess with psychological warfare. Its potential to threaten Israel and US bases underscores the urgent need for diplomatic de-escalation.
As regional powers arm themselves with increasingly sophisticated weapons, the risk of miscalculation grows, potentially igniting a conflict with global repercussions. Monitoring Iran’s missile advancements remains crucial for maintaining precarious peace in the region—and Israel may want to rethink its commitment to restarting a war against Iran.

I personally do not believe in the so-called degrees and level of education of these ministers. Malijack Zarif betrayed Iran with the JCPOA. The Toman to dollar was 3000 to 1, and now it is 100,000 to 1. They keep doubling down . If this regime has any chance of survival, it needs to pivot 100% towards China. It needs to clean house, but it is too corrupt. Most of these officials have the embezzled money in European banks. Why else would you be talking to the EU? They have nothing to offer the Iranian nation.

And how does the toman's demise be traced to the JCPOA? If it wasn't signed somehow the currency would be worth more? I'd like an explanation of this, please....
 
None of these "axis of resistance" / Shias learn. HizbAllah's leadership gone, IRI military/nuclear scientist leadership's gone, Yemen leadership gone.....if you must die then take some zionazis with you - instead of sitting in buildings and losing themselves and their colleagues/families.

There is this "sickness" in the Shias. Love for martyrdom - as of the Prophets grandson - is very noble and pure emotion but not an iota for "eye for an eye"...except for hoisting the Red flag on Jamkara mosque for a few days, lob some missile and start sloganeering(like IRI did not use its full or new arsenal of missiles or the "next" time we will show our true power)..IRI had 3 times(Treue Promise 1,2,3) till now to "show" IsraHell what it got but every time it disappointed .....as I said it seems like they will never learn or understand their enemies !

Nothing changed in IRI after Haniyah was assisnated and the subsequent assinations were inevitable ! IzraHell is not going to stop till they make Greater IsraHell for which they will kill all Arabs, Persians, Turks, Kurds...all of them Amaleks !

Years and years of military, nuclear, political leadership expertise gone down the drain - that time, energy, money to build up the cadres - which are essential for the development of a stable, modern state. It will take a lifetime to get a Soleimani or Hajizadeh or a NasrAllah again and during this time, IsraHell gets a longer lease of "life" in which it continues to destroy and assasinate !

I dont know why after losing 20+ military and other leaders and over 1000 innocent lives lost and 2-3 thousand injured, IRI first restrained then stopped the hostilities? - especially after the AD batteries of IsraHell was depleted ! Symbolic strikes on US base and as if nothing happened !

Need to ask the AyatAllah's who is going to pay for the blood of Hajizadeh and other martyrs who perished? Where is justice for them?

If the Shias want to taken seriously, by now they should have taken out at least NaziYahoos cabinet - nothing else will restrain them. Or are they waiting for the Mahdi(AS) to come and do that and until then they will just get slaughtered like lambs in the name of Hussein(AS) ?

We don't know who lived in those apartment blocks Iran hit. For all we know, they targeted homes of Israeli officials.

IR needs to fully embrace China.

I don't know it was a deliberate or pre planned absence, but the truth is, we haven't seen any visible benefit from SCO.

What is the point of SCO if it cannot provide member states with solutions at the time of need?

India smells shit btw. Its an smelly meeting.

Modi did not answer Trump's call just a week ago.
Interestingly enough, India is approaching China because of US tariffs.

But I agree that SCO is useless.
