00:00Fatah Irani is suspected of using his high-tech hypersonic missiles traveling at 18,000 kilometers

00:09per hour for the first time in the attack on Israel on Tuesday.

00:13The elite Revolutionary Guard of Iran claimed to have launched ballistic missiles to strike

00:17Israel in the attack dubbed Operation True Promise 2.

00:21The missile called Fatah, which means victory was unveiled at a grand ceremony last year.

00:27Iran describes Fatah 1 as a hypersonic missile, meaning it travels at a speed of 5 Mach or

00:34five times faster than sound.

00:36Iran stated that the deadly weapon could hit the enemy's advanced anti-missile systems

00:41and is a significant step forward in the field of missiles.

00:45General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Aerospace

00:50Division, claimed at the time that the missile can maneuver inside and outside the atmosphere.

00:55However, experts have cast doubt on the hypersonic description, noting that almost all ballistic

01:01missiles reach hypersonic speeds when launched.

01:04The missile is said to have a range of 1,500 kilometers, a distance sufficient to hit targets

01:10in Israel.

01:11It is reported to be a solid-fuel missile, meaning it can be prepped in advance and kept

01:16on standby for launch at any time.

01:19Hajizadeh also claimed last year that this weapon cannot be destroyed by any other missile

01:25because it moves in different directions and at different altitudes.

01:29Iran claimed that the missiles took less than 15 minutes to reach targets in Israel, including

01:34the Mossad headquarters in Glilet near Tel Aviv.
