US EditionSatellite Images Show Iran Prioritizing Missile Repairs Over Nuclear Sites
Satellite imagery shows Iran restored over half of missile sites damaged last year with new defenses, while nuclear facilities remain largely unrepaired, experts say.
- On Thursday, Iranian state-aligned media reported the Khorramshahr-4 ballistic missile was placed in underground Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities, marking its first operational deployment there.
- Citing defensive aims, state media argued underground placement strengthens IRGC missile forces' readiness and survivability while providing a `second strike` capability ensuring operational continuity after a preemptive strike.
- Open-Source reports describe Khorramshahr-4 as a single-stage, liquid-fueled medium-range ballistic missile with speeds up to 16 times the speed of sound and a 1.5–1.8 ton warhead.
- The report claimed a launch from Iranian territory could reach Israel in roughly 10 to 12 minutes, and Khorramshahr-4 range of approximately 2,000 kilometers covers much of the Middle East.
- The announcement forms part of ongoing Iranian messaging emphasizing Iran's ballistic missile program amid regional tensions and military/nuclear discussions, with Fars describing the Khorramshahr-4 as among the most powerful missiles.
