00:00 In a retaliatory move, Iran has responded to joint condemnation from the UK, France
00:05 and Germany who criticised its recent missile advancements, particularly the unveiling of
00:11 the Fata-2 ballistic missile.
00:14 Tehran asserts that the Fata-2 is hypersonic and tensions escalate as diplomatic exchanges
00:20 take a confrontational turn.
00:23 In a joint statement, the E3 countries expressed concern and said,
00:27 "Iran continues to develop its missile programme despite repeated international calls to halt
00:33 it and after years of disregarding UN restrictions."
00:38 Unveiled at the Ashura Aerospace Science and Technology University in Tehran on November
00:43 19, the Fata-2 takes centre stage.
00:46 This ballistic missile is not only armed with an advanced warhead but also features a hypersonic
00:51 glide vehicle at GV, marking a significant stride in Iran's technological progress.
00:58 Translated as "Conquer" in Farsi, the Fata-2 represents an advanced evolution of Iran's
01:03 domestically produced hypersonic ballistic missile, sharing its name with its predecessor.
01:09 Fuelled by a liquid rocket propellant, the hypersonic precision-guided, two-stage missile
01:15 boasts an impressive 1,500-km range and achieves a velocity of Mach 15, equivalent to 15 times
01:23 the speed of sound, reaching 18,522 km/h, according to reports.
01:32 A statement read, "The E3 remains committed to taking every diplomatic step to prevent
01:37 Iran from developing nuclear weapons and to holding Iran to account for its de-establishing
01:43 activity around the region and internationally."
01:46 In response, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasir Kanani dismissed the E3 statement as
01:53 "misleading, politically motivated and lacking legal grounding."
01:59 He said that Iran is committed to peaceful and defensive measures urging the international
02:04 community to recognise it.
02:06 Kanani clarified that, "According to the 2015 nuclear deal timetable, all missile restrictions
02:12 on Iran should have been lifted by the United Nations by October 17, 2023."
