The acknowledgment of the American newspaper New York Times to the complexity of Iran’s missiles
The American newspaper New York Times emphasized that in Iran's retaliatory response to the Zionist regime, this regime faced complex missiles. |
The American newspaper New York Times announced that late on Saturday, Iran started firing hundreds of drones and missiles towards the occupied territories.
The New York Times further added: missiles that according to experts are more sophisticated than anything that Israel had faced in the six months of war with Hamas and its allies in the region.
This American newspaper claimed: Previously, Israel with the air attacks of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, whose missile arsenal includes short-range rockets (12 to 25 miles) and up to 122 miles of the Grad family, Syrian-made M-302 rockets with a The range of about 100 miles, as well as Fajr-5 missiles and similar samples, both had a range of about 50.
The weapons that Iran used on Saturday can travel much farther, and some of them can travel much faster.
In a post on Platform X, Fabian Heinz, an Iranian military expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Berlin, claimed that Iran is probably using the Pave 351 cruise missile developed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This missile has a longer range.
According to his claim, different versions of that missile are also in the possession of Yemen’s Ansarullah and Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces.
On the other hand, Jeffrey Lewis, a member of the International Security Advisory Board at the US State Department, said in a post on Platform X that Iran uses ground attack cruise missiles that can carry a ton of explosives.

He also noted that many of Iran’s ballistic missile arsenals have enough range to reach the occupied territories. Although Iranian drones carry much smaller explosive payloads than missiles, they have the advantage of being able to hover and move targets.
