Iran has reportedly developed methods to evade US missile defense systems, using high-speed missiles capable of terminal-phase maneuvers, according to American sources. The claim is unverified and no further details are available.
The claim, reported by a single source, emerges amid a period of direct military confrontation between the United States and Iran. The Zioneer has previously reported on Iranian missile strikes against US bases, US strikes on Iran, and Iranian threats to Gulf states. If confirmed, the development would represent a significant step in the technological arms race, potentially complicating US missile defense operations in the region. No official confirmation from American or Iranian authorities has been provided.
