Iran has unveiled its new 'Qassem Basir' ballistic missile, boasting a range of 1,200 km and claiming the ability to bypass the U.S.-made THAAD defense system.

According to military official Aziz Nassirzadeh, the missile was upgraded in response to Israel’s successful interception of Iranian ballistic missiles during the April and October 2024 strikes. With the new enhancements, he claimed Israel would be unable to intercept more than 5 out of every 200 missiles.

The updated missile has reportedly been deployed across all of Iran’s underground missile facilities.
