Was that a secondary explosion afterwards or what I couldn’t tell

Some desi geolocation in a hurry as its late so my results may be off:

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":

This is EXACTLY what I suggested at the very start of this issue. Smart move if true.

Bahrain, Qatar, MBS Kingdom all being hit right now.

Censorship in place

They will to stop it being taken over by US.

That is the “existential” threat.

Iran’s plan A is to survive.

Their Plan B is to destroy the Arab and gulf oil fields so that the Arabs and Gulfies can no longer prop up the US economy.

US needs to rollover 11 trillion of debt this year. And its traditional client states aren’t prepared to buy that debt.

And if Arabs and Gulfies start pulling money out because they don’t have oil revenue - it will collapse the US economy.

This is another brilliant move.

The person that filmed that is gonna get executed.

But yes one of the cleanest video hits of the entire war.

I really hope not

Don't doubt the capability of a well-trained MEU. They train for this constantly and have lots of experience to draw from assaulting a contested beach.

As @RescueRanger posted, this isn't their first rodeo.

Homework time: Look up ANGLICO.

You are asking us not to underestimate the MEU, and I respectfully ask you also not to overestimate them. Which wars hsve they won for US? Crickets...

What has to do Mediterranean and Iran war?

Blame the French not me. They are the ones who said "We send aircraft carrier to protect ze cyprus".
