00:16One of Iran's most powerful ballistic missiles has now entered the battlefield in the escalating
00:22war with Israel.
00:23For the first time since the conflict intensified, Iran has launched multiple Qoram Shar-4 heavy
00:31ballistic missiles toward Israeli targets, marking a major escalation in the regional
00:36confrontation.
00:38According to statements from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the missiles were fired as part
00:44of the 19th wave of Operation True Promise 4, a campaign of retaliatory attacks launched
00:50after earlier U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian military and nuclear facilities.
00:57Iranian state media says the Qoram Shar-4 missile, also known as KABAR, is one of the country's
01:05most powerful medium-range ballistic weapons.
01:08The missile is believed to have a range of around 2,000 kilometers, allowing it to reach
01:13targets across Israel from launch sites inside Iran.

01:17It can reportedly carry a warhead weighing up to 1,000 kilograms, capable of causing massive
01:23destruction on impact.
01:25Iran claims the missiles targeted locations in central Israel, including areas around Tel
01:31Aviv, Ben Gurion Airport, and facilities linked to the Israeli Air Force.
01:37According to Iranian officials, the attack was preceded by drone swarms, a tactic designed
01:43to overwhelm and confuse air defense systems before the ballistic missiles arrived.
01:49Iranian sources also claim that the Qoram Shar-4 missiles successfully pierced through seven
01:55layers of Israeli air defense systems before reaching their intended targets.
02:00However, these claims have not been independently verified.
02:04On the Israeli side, air raid sirens sounded across central regions as defense systems, including
02:11Iron Dome and Aero missile batteries, attempted to intercept the incoming projectiles.
02:18Israeli authorities say many of the missiles were intercepted, and so far there are no confirmed
02:23reports of major damage from this specific wave of attacks.
02:27Still, military analysts say the deployment of the Qoram Shar-4 is highly significant.
02:34Not only is it considered one of Iran's most heaviest and destructive ballistic missiles,
02:39but this is also the first time Tehran has publicly used this particular weapon in the ongoing conflict.
02:47The strike comes amid an already intense cycle of retaliation.
02:51In recent days, U.S. and Israeli forces carried out major airstrikes inside Iran, targeting missile bases, air defense systems,
03:00and key military facilities.
03:03In response, Tehran has launched multiple waves of missiles and drones, targeting not only Israel, but also U.S.-linked military
03:11bases across the Middle East.
03:13Military analysts warn that the confrontation is increasingly turning into a multi-front regional conflict involving Iran, Israel, the United
03:23States, and several Allied forces.
03:43They will never miss an update.
