Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh announced on June 11 that the country had successfully tested a new missile armed with a warhead weighing two tons.
Speaking to reporters after a cabinet meeting, Nasirzadeh said, “We have made very good progress in defense affairs. Our operational forces are fully equipped.”
“Our most recent achievement came last week when we successfully tested a missile carrying a two-ton warhead, with excellent results,” the minister added, without providing any additional details about the new missile.
Iran already produces the Khorramshahr, a ballistic missile armed with a warhead weighing 1,8 tons and a range up to 2,000 kilometers. The new missile may be a derivative of the Khorramshahr with a shorter range to compensate for the additional weight of the warhead.
The announcement came amid mounting tension between Iran and Israel. Just last week, Tehran said that it had obtained a trove of “strategic and sensitive” Israeli intelligence, including files related to the country’s nuclear facilities and defense plans.
Iran’s top security body warned later on June 9 that the military would immediately target Israel’s “secret nuclear facilities” if the Islamic Republic comes under military attack.
According to the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), months of intelligence gathering had enabled Iran’s armed forces to identify high-value Israeli targets for potential retaliatory strikes, should Israel initiate military action against Iranian interests.
“This forms part of a broader strategic initiative aimed at countering disinformation by hostile actors and reinforcing Iran’s deterrent capabilities,” the SNSC said.
Tehran’s access to Israeli intelligence would allow it to swiftly target “concealed nuclear sites” in the event of an Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear infrastructure, the council said, adding that the information also supports proportionate retaliation against attacks on Iran’s economic or military assets.
Israel developed its nuclear program in the 1950s and is thought to have tested a nuclear device in the 1960s. It is estimated to have a stockpile of around 90-200 active warheads with a nuclear triad of delivery options: air, sea, and ground-based missiles.
Just like Iran, some of Israel’s key nuclear facilities are located underground. This explains why the Islamic Republic is now developing missiles with heavy warheads.

beautiful!
hope they rain them down on the dirty jews and their little kiddies!
it would appear they will get to test it in a live situation in the next 48 hours.
iranians patiently waiting for the zionists to make their grave error of attacking.
scuttlebutt is that us and israel are planning to attack within 24 hours; us withdrawing all non-essential personnel from their gulf bases.
the ✡️🔨.
introduce it to some nails, baby.
we will take down the iranians very soon…heheheh

bosnians sell their daughters & sons very cheaply…heheheh…

you woke up with your jew daddy’s dick in your ass…lol
wishful thinking. hehehe
that is big ! perhaps it is designed to go deep into underground terrorist tunnels in tel aviv ?
perhaps it’s designed to go deep into them with a little nuke. give shlomo a 180,000 degree suntan.
a war head of 2 tons or 4,480 pounds is note worthy, as the us b83 nuke weighed 2,400 pounds and had a maximum yield of 1.2 megatons of tnt, and at the other end the us w25 nuke weighed 221 pounds and had a yield of 1.7 kilotons, and was designed as an air to air nuke, and other us nukes are not as heavy as the b83. so i*ran now has a delivery means to send a nuke to israel, and a penetrating warhead with a nuke on israel’s nuke site will spoil the joo’s day.
the joo kiddie killers need to know that if they don’t mind their manners they’re going to get a 180,000 degree suntan. disinfect occupied palestine at a stroke.
2 tonnes dropped on satan yahoo would be a godsend
because of the traitor putler, hezbollah is not connected to the sea and syrians who support hamas are being killed by erdogan’s servants.
due to putler’s betrayal of syria, iran will be destroyed because hezbollah is cut off from the sea.
the jooz have been leading the amerikunts by the nose for the past 80 years.
many problems for zionists. first they cannot control their emotions. second, they are too vindictive and inbred to know when to stop. third, they are always miserable. if palestinians vanished tomorrow, jews would still be miserable as the day before and find a new thing to complain about. never content with anything. fourth they are parasites and live their lives on eternal victimhood
