TEHRAN, Jun. 22 – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said it has, for the first time, launched multiwarhead Kheibarshekan (castle buster) ballistic missiles in its retaliatory strikes against the Zionist regime.
The IRGC on Sunday gave details of the 20th wave of Iran’s attacks against the Zionist regime as part of the Operation True Promise III.
It said the most recent stage of attacks was launched by firing 40 solid- and liquid-fuel ballistic missiles.
Multiwarhead Kheibarshekan ballistic missiles -the third generation of the IRGC Aerospace Force’s missiles- were fired in Sunday’s strike for the first time, the IRGC said, adding that modern and surprising tactics were employed to increase the accuracy of missiles and ensure their effective and destructive impact on the targets.
The Iranian missiles hit various targets such as Ben Gurion airport, the Israeli regime’s biological research center, and its replacement command-and-control centers, the IRGC stated.
The guided ballistic missiles launched by Iran had maneuverable and highly-explosive warheads that were being guided until the final moment of devastating impact, the statement noted.
It said the sirens in the occupied territories sounded only after the missiles hit the targets, upsetting the balance of the enemy.
The IRGC warned that the main sections of the capacities of the Iranian Armed Forces have not become operational in the counterattacks so far.
