Unlock the potential of 4th Gen Missile: Iran's revolutionary Test launch, what it means for Future
The Khoramshahr -4th generation ballistic missile, with a potential range of 2,000 km, was successfully test-launched by Iran on Thursday, according to state media, two days after the head of Israel's armed forces suggested taking "action" against Tehran over its nuclear programme.
Iran, which has one of the most extensive missile programmes in the Middle East, claims that its warheads can reach the bases of arch-foes Israel and the United States in the region.
Despite concerns from the United States and Europe, the Islamic Republic has stated that it will continue to develop its "defensive" missile development.
Iran's opponents should know that we will defend the country and its achievements. "We want to help regional stability," we say to our friends. Mohammadreza Ashtiani, Iran's Defence Minister, stated
The Khoramshahr ballistic missile is an Iranian medium-range missile. It is named after Khorramshahr, a city seized by Iran during the Iran-Iraq War. In January 2017, the Khoramshahr rocket was put to the test for the first time. Since then, it's been tried more than once, last time being in August 2020.
The makeshift 4th generation Khorramshahr missile has been put to the test. on May 25, 2023.The test was successful, and the missile met all of its objectives.
Khoramshahr 4th generation ballistic missile is a medium-range missile and can carry a payload of up to 1,500 kilograms. It is believed to be capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The missile is mobile and can be launched from a variety of platforms, including trucks and submarines.
The missile's designation as Khorramshahr-4 is still a mystery, though, as only two additional types are confirmed to exist. It is based on the Musudan ballistic missile from North Korea.
According to the official news agency IRNA, the liquid-fuel missile was also given the name "Kheibar" in honour of a Jewish citadel that early Muslims conquered.
Fast preparation and firing times are among the Kheibar missile's exceptional characteristics, making it both a tactical and a strategic weapon, the report added.
The senior Israeli general suggested on Tuesday that Israel may take military action against Iran, as negotiations by six world countries to resurrect the 2015 nuclear agreement have stagnated since last September and as Western concerns about Tehran's quickening nuclear development mount.
The agreement, which the United States pulled out of in 2018, placed restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities and increased the amount of time Tehran would need to build enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon, should it choose to do so. Iran disputes that it wants nuclear weapons.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.

But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
