Now Trump will start sweating! Iran launches ballistic missile amid tension with America, know what is its range

New Delhi: Tension is continuously increasing in the Middle East. Relations between America and Iran are worsening. In such a situation, Iran has successfully tested a new ballistic missile to show its military strength. This step has become a matter of concern across the world.

Background of rising tensions

There is a dispute going on between Iran and America for many years. The main issue is Iran’s nuclear program. In recent months, the US has imposed new sanctions on Iran and also increased the US military presence in the region. Iran says it is developing missiles for its own security, but Western countries consider it a threat.

Recently, nuclear talks have been going on between the two sides, but no major agreement has been reached. Amidst the fear of war, Iran has given a strong message by launching this missile.

Features of Khyber missile

The missile tested by Iran is named Khyber. It is also known as Khorramshahr-4. It is a fourth generation surface-to-surface ballistic missile. According to Iranian officials, its range is 2000 kilometers. With this distance it can reach Israel, American military bases in Gulf countries and parts of Europe.

The missile has the capability to carry a heavy warhead (up to about 1500 kg). It runs on liquid fuel and has the ability to change direction in flight, making it easier to dodge enemy defense systems. The test was conducted at a secret location, where Iran’s missile units are hidden.

Iran’s claim regarding missile

Let us tell you, Iran’s missile power can change the balance in the Middle East. Iran has thousands of ballistic missiles, many of which can hit up to 2000 km. This test is a warning to America and its allies. However, Iran claims that these missiles are defensive and meant to respond to any attack.
