Why is the Islamic Republic of Iran so intent on bombing Israel? Is Israel threatening Iran in some way? No. The reasons for Iran’s hostility to Israel are entirely based upon Islamic texts and teachings. Find out how and why in The Palestinian Delusion.
“Iran Unveils Khorramshahr-4 Strategic Guided Missile, Deputy Defense Minister Mehdi Farahi Says: Soon, We Will Have Missile Stealth Technology That Can Defeat Israel’s Iron Dome, David’s Sling Systems,” MEMRI, May 26, 2023:
On May 26, 2023, IRINN TV (Iran) aired a report about the unveiling of the Khorramshahr-4 missile. The report stated that unlike Iran’s liquid-fuel missiles, which take two hours to prepare for launch and which cannot store their own fuel, the Khorramshahr-4 missile can remain launch-ready for 10 years and can be launched within 20 minutes. According to Iranian Defense Minister General Mohammad-Reza Gharaei Ashtiani and Deputy Defense Minister IRGC General Mehdi Farahi, the missile has a range of 2,000 kilometers, can carry a 1.5-ton 4-meter-long guided warhead, is too fast to be intercepted by air defense system, and has an isolated guidance system that cannot be jammed by electronic warfare systems. In addition, General Farahi said that Iran has the technology to develop missiles with much greater ranges, but that its restrained national security policy precludes it from doing so, and he added that Iran will soon attain stealth technologies that will prevent defense systems such as Israel’s Iron Dome and David’s Sling from intercepting the missile.
Reporter: “Forty-one years after the liberation of Khorramshahr, the Khorramshahr missile is being unveiled today. According to the Ministry of Defense, on of the engineers who built this missile was born in 1984, in the city of Khorramshahr. He is here, and he explains about the missile’s new features.
“This is a strategic missile. It is different from Iranian-made ballistic missiles that use liquid fuel, and it does not have guidance weights. In other words, the engine’s exhaust emissions change the direction of [those] missiles and guide them. It takes two hours to prepare missiles with liquid fuel for launch, and they cannot store fuel. By contrast, the Khorramshahr-4 missile can remain launch-ready for 10 years, and it can be prepared for launch in 20 minutes.”

Defense Minister General Mohammad-Reza Gharaei Ashtiani: “This missile has a range of 2,000 kilometers, and an explosive warhead with a very high yield.”
Reporter: “The Khorramshahr-4 missile – unlike is predecessors, unveiled in August 2019 – has an accurate warhead that can be guided. Each Khorramshahr missile equal all three of the missiles that can be seen here, hitting Dimona simulation target, and it has a warhead that weighs 1.5 tons.
[…]
“This missile has not yet accomplished all the goals set by Iran’s Islamic Republic in the field of missile-defense and deterrence, but at least its limits the military threats against Iran to those coming from beyond its 2,000 kilometer range. The Ministry of Defense says that by modifying the weight of the warhead, the range of the missile can change as well.”
[…]
Deputy Defense Minister IRGC General Mehdi Farahi: “The warhead is about four meters long, and is guidance takes place at midcourse. At a specific altitude and speed, determined in advance, the fuselage detaches and only the warhead remains – the four-meter-long [warhead] I mentioned, which weighs 1.5 tons. As you can see, it enters midcourse, where the missile’s main range is determined.
[…]
“During this time, the motors behind the warhead are involved in two processes. First, they offset the turbulence caused by the separation of the warhead and the motor. In the second phase, the other motors help it move towards the final guidance.
[…]
“Then comes the phase when the warhead wants to enter thick atmosphere, and get into the operational business. At this phase, the missile rapidly decelerates from its very fast Mach 16 midcourse speed to half the speed, approximately to Mach 8. Mach 8 is still very fast, and it is almost impossible for air defense systems to intercept the missile.”
Interviewer: “We can see it on screen now.”
Farahi: “Right. To prevent additional turbulence while entering the thick atmosphere, additional motors kick in and make it spin like a drill or a spinning wheel, in order to maintain its stability, to prevent it from deviating [from its course], and to maintain he accuracy achieved in midcourse all the way to the final target. The missile was designed for 2,000 kilometers, to strike within 30 meters of its target.
[..]
“In addition, the missile’s guidance system is completely isolated, so that no electronic warfare action can impact it. This is because the guidance systems are no longer active, and do not perform electronic functions. It consists of one whole mechanical unit…”
Interviewer: “So how can it be guided at this stage, in order to hit the target accurately?”
Farahi: “As I’ve said, the beautiful thing about our Khorramshahr missile, is that its guidance and control systems [operate] already in the midcourse stage.
[…]
“We put a lot of work into this missile’s warhead. We significantly reduced its RCS – Radar Cross Section – so that the enemy radar systems would not be able to detect it.
[..]
“We certainly have the ability and technology to produce missiles with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers. We are bound by the state’s supreme policy. This policy, as stated by the Leader and the Supreme National Security Council, is that we must stop at a range of 2,000 kilometers. This means that everything we have has a range of 2,000 kilometers or less. The second point is that we have the ability [to produce missiles] with a larger range. If it becomes necessary, we can do it, but we have not done it so far and have no plans of doing it.
[…]
“Step by step, we are getting closer to stealth capability. Soon we will be able to say that no radar, Iron Dome, David Sling, or any other obstacle will prevent our missiles from reaching the target.”
DHZ says
The problem with people who lie all the time is that nobody believes them, even when they are telling the truth. This propaganda parrot forgot his inshallahs or the reporter is just leaving them all out so the reader doesn’t get the idea that Islam has anything to do with killing people.
Walter Sieruk says
The main reason that the “defense” minister of the hostile and Islamic regime is able to boast that new missile technology that will soon be able to defeat Israel’s Iron Dome is because of that treasonous pseudo “president” Biden who is also fiendish villain as well an outright liar ,still in spite of all the facts about how awful that hostile that tyrannically Islamic regime of Iran is , Biden still wants gives that that so-called “deal” to made with that aggressive and vicious Islamic tyranny then he is ,indeed , a treasonous villain of the most evil sort.
For that demonically ambitious and sinister jihad –minded Muslims who have all the power in that hostile and menacing Islamic regime of Iran will continue in the unreasoning Islamic quest in the manufacture and construction of nuclear weapons. Therefore any so called “negotiation” with the officials of the Islamic “Republic” of Iran is a complete and total waste of time and effort.
For those disingenuous and outright lying officials of that aggressive, brutal and deceptive tyrannical Islamic state will only speak the truth only then it happens to suite them. Likewise, those in control and power in that “mullah tyranny” of Iran will only keep any of the promises they many happen to make only as long as it would suite them and no longer.
Furthermore, that fiendish President of Iran ,Raisi in power in that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran it’s now a rather appropriate time to bring out the fact that if the founder of the current Islamic tyranny ,Ayatollah Khomeini would still be alive today ,he would spit on Joe Biden.
The reason is that Biden had publicly declared and claimed, “Islam is a non-violent religion” In other words he said that “Islam is not a religion of violence.”
Pseudo President Biden is a liar and the Muslim clerics of Iran know that.
For as Ayatollah Khomeini had clearly announced that “Those who know nothing about Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war….There are hundreds psalms and hadiths urging of Muslims to value war and to fight. …I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” [1]
There are also many places in the Qu ‘ran that instruct in violence and killing for the cause of Islam.
As found in ,for example Surah 2:191. 4:89.. 5:33. 9:5, 111,112 ,123. 47:4.
Therefore if Khomeini alive and well in this year of 2023 he would spit upon Joe Biden.

Walter Sieruk says
One reason for that official of that “mullah regime’ of Iran now brags about Iran having a new and powerful missile technology is because of Joe Biden, with his appeasement policy, has every intention of going through with the horrendous nuclear “ deal” that is so very favorable to the aggressive and hostile Islamic regime of Iran which hates Israel and hates America and is very brutal malicious and murderous to the Iranian people who engaging in a justified protest against that oppressive and deadly cruel Sharia regime with denies them basic human rights and reasonable freedoms from that Islamic tyrannical regime is because he actually “owes” much to that Iranian Islamic tyranny.
Joe Biden will do nothing at all of any actual effort value about the brutal, cruel vicious tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran with all the malicious and even murderous oppression of the Iranian people.
leon perez says
Biden is no friend of israel, on the contrary, to be able to “brag” about a permanent peace between the U.S. and iran, he would sell Israel for 2 shekels.
Why do American Jews still vote 65-75% for democrats?
i can only think of one reason, they do not care about israel.
David M says
Gee, that would be a good idea Iran, bomb a country that is armed to the teeth & has shown time & time again they hit back with double the force at anyone who attacks them. What could go wrong with that plan of yours Iran?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
They should worry about a potential Taliban invasion. Unless they are prepared to lose Khorasan
somehistory says
How much of this is Truth and how much is lying through their evil teeth?
Ezekiel 38-39 warns of Persia (iran, the boastful) getting together with other nations, russia, syria, etc. …all to the North of Israel…to see Israel is a “good land: “without wall,” and the invaders will go to get “much spoil.”
They won’t win, but they’ll put some mean and evil effort into the trying.
If they truly do have this weapon, they won’t allow any so-called “restrained national security policy” to keep them from using it; without any provocation from Israel.
FYI says
“The David Sling”
Goliath vs David.
Iran vs Israel.
Of course allah and his muslims don’t have Biblical Prophecy.That allah doesn’t even know WHERE Prophecy comes from is clear from koran 5:116 where Mary{yes MARY} replaces the Holy Spirit{=where prophecy comes from}
allah doesn’t even understand Theology.So Biblical Prophecy is way out of his league.
