The ongoing war between Iran and Israel has entered a more dangerous phase, marked by the reported use of Iran’s most powerful ballistic systems—particularly the Khorramshahr-4, often described by analysts as a “monster missile” due to its heavy payload and destructive design.

A New Level of Firepower
The Khorramshahr-4 missile—also known as the Kheibar missile—is one of Iran’s most advanced weapons:

Range: ~2,000 km (potentially more)
Warhead: up to 1,500–1,800 kg
Capable of carrying cluster submunitions, spreading explosives over wide areas
Unlike precision-focused missiles, this system is designed for “saturation warfare”—overwhelming air defenses by flooding them with large, complex attack patterns rather than a single strike.

Recent reports indicate that variants of this missile were used in barrages targeting central Israel, including Tel Aviv, marking a significant escalation in both scale and strategy.
