According to General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the Revolutionary Guards' aerospace commander, Tehran is now in possession of a ballistic missile that moves at "high speed and can manoeuvre in and out of the atmosphere". Speaking of the new weapon on Thursday, General Hajizadeh said the missile's capabilities would make it "unstoppable". He added: "This missile has a high speed and can manoeuvre in and out of the atmosphere. "It will target the enemy's advanced anti-missile systems and is a big generational leap in the field of missiles," he said. The missile is designed to target enemy anti-air systems and has been described as a "generational leap" forward in terms of Tehran's military technology.

China was thought to have tested a similar weapon last year, with the US also in a testing phase. While North Korea had shown off what appear to be hypersonic missiles at military parades, it was not clear whether its technology was functional. While the term 'hypersonic' is loosely defined, hypersonic missiles are broadly categorised as having the ability to fly at least five times faster than the speed of sound. They are also typically on a complex trajectory, making them difficult to intercept. In spite of Iran's claims, there have been no reports of such a missile being tested.
