Western intelligence and defense officials are concerned about Iran’s recent missile strikes in Syria, Iraq, and Pakistan.

The use of advanced missiles with increased range and accuracy has raised alarms, as it surpasses Iran’s previous capabilities.

The Kheibar Shekan ballistic missile, unveiled in 2022, has a range of 1,450 kilometers and features a maneuverable warhead, posing a significant threat.

“Unveiled in 2022, the Kheibar Shekan is a solid-propellant precision-guided missile that has a range of 1,450 kilometers, or about 900 miles — meaning it can hit Israel,” the report read.

“But what makes it stand out from the rest of Iran’s arsenal is that its warhead can nimbly maneuver with tiny aerodynamic fins to evade at least some traditional air-defense systems.”

Experts suggest that Iran’s actions were aimed at showcasing their newer missiles, testing them in combat, sending a message to Israel and the U.S., and attracting new customers as they become a major arms supplier in the region.
