Previously, in November 2022, the Islamic Republic of Iran said that has taken steps towards the development of its first hypersonic missile, to which the United States responded with skepticism. 

On May 25 Iran unveiled its latest ballistic missile, named "Khorramshahr-4 long-range strategic missile."

The self-guided missile is one of the most sophisticated weapons developed by scientists at the Defense Ministry's Aerospace Organization, with a range of 2,000 km and a 1,500 kg high-explosive payload.

Khorramshahr-4 is fitted with a complex liquid fuel engine, which is integrated into the missile's fuel tank reducing its height to nearly 13 meters.
