Iran has developed a ballistic missile capable of flying at hypersonic speeds. The news came from Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The weapon system is designed to destroy enemy anti-missile defenses and can maneuver both inside and outside of the atmosphere, indicating its relatively long range. Hajizadeh stressed that the technology to intercept hypersonic missiles was unlikely to be developed for decades.
Only a handful of nations, such as Russia, China, North Korea and the US, have the advanced technology necessary to build such weapons.

Those who have lived long enough will know that Iran, known as the Persians in earlier history, are not as backward as we seem to think. They are scientifically endowed and well known to be great fighters in centuries gone by.
Iran would have had the bomb long ago, had it not been for being held back by the West and Israel. That is the reality.
So, developing hypersonic weapons is no surprise for a country like Iran. They have exported drones to many countries too. What they have not done is putting together the bomb, which many believe they could even do it in six months. It could be true.
