00:16Iran has recently shared a new video of one of its most powerful missiles into the global spotlight.
00:23Rather than whispering threats, Tehran chose to show them, unveiling its Quramshar IV ballistic missile inside hardened underground facilities known
00:36colloquially as missile cities.
00:39These displays, broadcast briefly and then pulled by state media, highlight a weapon Tehran calls central to its defense posture.
00:50At the heart of this message is the Quramshar IV, also known as KBAR, one of Iran's most advanced medium
00:58-range ballistic missiles.
01:01This isn't just a parade exhibit, it's a strategic announcement and here's why it matters.
01:07The Quramshar IV is estimated to have a range of roughly 2,000 kilometers, placing U.S. military bases across
01:16the Gulf, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE well within reach, as well as Israel and other regional targets.
01:25It's capable of carrying a large warhead, roughly 1,500 kilograms, one of the most powerful payloads in Iran's ballistic
01:35arsenal.
01:36Iranian sources claim this missile is not only long-ranged, but also hypersonic and maneuverable, making interception by current defense
01:46systems more challenging.
01:48And because they're stored deep underground, in extensive tunnel networks, these missiles are hard to eliminate preemptively, enhancing their deterrent
01:59value.
01:59This dramatic reveal comes as tensions with the United States are steadily rising, with both sides bolstering military postures across
02:09the region, including increased U.S. naval and air deployments.
02:14Iran's leaders have made clear that their missile capabilities are non-negotiable, even as indirect diplomatic discussions continue.
02:24Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakachi reiterated that Tehran will not cede its missile program in negotiations,
02:32and warned that any U.S. attack would be met with retaliation against U.S. bases across the region.
02:40To Iranian commanders, this isn't just defense, it's deterrence and messaging.
02:47By showing these missiles in their hardened silos and tunnels, Tehran is sending a clear signal, its arsenal is resilient,
02:56survivable, and ready.
02:57But what does it mean for the wider region?
03:01For Iran's neighbors and the world, it highlights a stark reality.
03:06In a landscape marked by drones, warships, and negotiation tables, the threat of ballistic missiles looms large.
03:15Whether Iran's intent is to prevent conflict or to prepare for one, the endurance of these missiles shielded beneath the
03:24earth,
03:25yet capable of threatening distant targets, ensures they will be central to any future calculations involving Iran's security and regional
03:35stability.
03:35In today's Middle East, strength isn't just measured on the battlefield, it's showcased deep underground.
03:43before Iran is just weathered and is spreading the ground.
