Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has confirmed the first-ever operational use of its Fattah-1 hypersonic missile during a strike on Tel Aviv.
According to a statement released by the IRGC, the advanced missile system—unveiled in 2023—was used in response to what Tehran describes as “continued Israeli aggression.” This marks the first time the Fattah-1 has been deployed in live combat, signaling a shift in Iran’s strategic capabilities and a warning to its adversaries.
The Fattah-1 is designed to evade modern air defense systems due to its high speed and maneuverability, making it a potent addition to Iran’s growing missile arsenal.

Military analysts view this as a turning point in the ongoing confrontation between Iran and Israel, raising serious concerns about the broader implications for regional stability and global security.
