Press TV – Feb 9, 2022
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has unveiled a new ballistic missile with a range of 1,450 kilometers (900 miles), which enjoys high agility and is capable of striking its designated targets with pinpoint accuracy.
The missile, dubbed Khaybar Shekan, was put on display on Wednesday during a ceremony attended by Chief of Staff of Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Commander of the IRGC’s Aerospace Division Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, and a number of other high-ranking military officials and commanders.
The celebration ceremony coincided with celebrations in Iran commemorating the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which overthrew the US-backed Pahlavi dynasty.
Khaybar Shekan is reportedly among third-generation long-range missiles indigenously developed and manufactured by military experts at the IRGC’s Aerospace Division.
The new missile uses solid propellants and is said to be capable of penetrating into missile shields with high maneuverability during its landing stage.
The modern design of Khaybar Shekan has reduced its weight by a third in comparison with similar missiles, and the preparation time to launch the missile has apparently decreased to one-sixths compared to conventional projectiles.
Moreover, the new ballistic missile enjoys considerable agility and high velocity when hitting its targets.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran is consistently improving its missile capabilities to counter aggressors, oppressors, global arrogance as well as murderous Zionists,” Bagheri said during the ceremony, emphasizing that the Islamic Republic will continue the trend both quantitatively and qualitatively.
He highlighted that enemies would not have cared about ethics, humanitarian principles, human rights and widespread condemnation if they could obtain anything other than huge costs and losses out of aggression on Iran.

Bagheri also hailed the “dynamic” deterrent power of the Iranian Armed Forces, saying the country is expanding both its inventory of military hardware and human resources.
A Pentagon study has recently acknowledged Iran’s missile power, saying its arsenal is larger than that of any other Middle Eastern country.
“Iran has an extensive missile development program, and the size and sophistication of its missile force continue to grow despite decades of counter-proliferation efforts aimed at curbing its advancement,” it said.
Despite decades of Washington-imposed sanctions, Iran has made great achievements in its ballistic missiles program.
Last month, an American political analyst said Iran’s missile program has disrupted the strategic military calculations of the United States in the Middle East, altering the balance of power in a region where Washington has long sought to maintain a military edge.
“The US fears Iran is upsetting the hitherto American-enforced regional balance of power whereby Washington and its allies were supposed to have a decisive military advantage over the Islamic Republic,” Andrew Korybko, a Moscow-based American political commentator, told Press TV.

Just get on with the war already. All this poncing about is boring.
To Mr Putin: Please drop a few nukes on britain. Yours, a british ‘citizen’.

This is the best news I’ve heard in a long time, Iran has a missile that can reach Israel. That is very good.
Aim it at the Knesset in full session and get them all with one swat.
The only solution to ending the madness of the world is to end Rothschild central banking and Israel. If you pray for peace you are wasting your time, you should pray for the total destruction of Israel if you really want world peace.
BTW the only reason Iran has spent so much money on military hardware is because we forced the nation to do so. After Mossadeq nationalized oil, we had Kermit Rosevelt (CIA Jew) overthrow him and installed the puppet Shah. Then our murderous tyrant Shah tortured and killed Iranians so the people of Iran overthrew him. Then Reagan sent Rumsfeld (Jew) to Saddam with Chemical Weapons and had Saddam attack Iran in a 10 year war. Iran lost like a million young men.
So now Iran takes war seriously. We created that. Own it.
So it is very good Iran has very accurate missiles that can reach Tel Aviv. I hope they build ten thousand more and aim them at every Jew politician home.
Oh yeah, similar to how the MSM (Marxist Soviet Media) told us how Iraq had all these great powerful weapons they would use, but in the end they had & used nothing against the USA/UK Communist scum…
@Yukon Jack
The ‘people’ did not overthrow the Shah. Kohmeinei was domiciled and bankrolled by the West for years before he was parachuted in to ride what we now know as engineered ‘regime change’. Then, as the Shah was no longer of any use, the CIA murdered him.
I don’t want to give the kikes any ideas, but if war does break out the kikes will bomb Al Aqsa Mosque and blame it on an Iranian missile.
Perhaps Iran also needs very good satellite surveillance technology so that if that happens they might be able to prove who really done it.
Yep, the kikes want to rebuild the Jewish temple, the one they have no shared history of, and no shared relationship with.
You all should read Ezekiel 38 and 39. Soon the military mighty men of the world will be slaughtered over there in Israel. GOD owns Israel and loves Mount Zion. It is God’s holy mount. Satan wants to be worshiped as if he is GOD so there will be an enormous war on the mountains of Israel. The gentiles will die there, and their bodies will be eaten by the birds and beasts. It will take Israel 7 months to bury the bones that are left. Ezekiel 38:14-16:
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwells safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the LATTER DAYS, and I will bring thee against my land, that THE HEATHEN SHALL KNOW ME, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
The best Anti-Zionists name you can ever come up with for a missile!! خیبر شکن
@Ann Blue
You should read Deuteronomy 49, because that is more likely what is happening!
And note that in bible, Iran is not just Persia but also “Elam”.
“The LORD will bring a nation against you from far away… a nation whose >languagehigh fortified walls< in which you trust fall down."
Yes, God is very angry with Jews (Corrupting on earth for the second time according to Quran) and they are the ones that due to hunger are supposed to eat their own kind and become Zombies! Unlike how they showed it in their Z movie! It's bible though, I am not making these up, just go read and this prophecy is yet to come!
Also if you try to interpret Jeremiah 49, you should understand that Elam of the past is no more and we're talking about the Elam of the future. But then again one can interpret as one fancies!
There is much more but not much time. I'm not into prophecies though… field realities speak for themselves.
Seems like a couple of lines in my previous comment were accidentally deleted… was talking about Deuteronomy 49… so “high walls”, “siege”, “a nation you don’t understand their language”.
