Message of the Firing of the Khormshahr 4 Missile During the Nuclear Negotiations

Without the firing of powerful ballistic missiles in the imposed 12-day war, the war would have continued unilaterally. Regarding that, the unveiling of the Khorramshahr 4 missile at such a time is significant because it sends a signal of Iran’s power and the ability to respond powerfully to the enemy.

TEHRAN (Defapress) - The “Khormshahr 4” missile is one of the most powerful missiles of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has been recognized as a lever of Iran’s military power in the past year.

With a range of 2,000 kilometers and high destructive power, this missile can deal hard blows to the regional and extra-regional enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The ballistic missiles of the Islamic Republic of Iran can hit distant targets with high destructive power, one of which is the US military bases in the West Asia region. Given the type of warhead of the Khorramshahr 4 ballistic missile, each launch is actually the launch of 80 missiles that are sent towards US military bases in the West Asia region.

Destructive power of Khorramshahr missiles

Foreign analysts say that launching two to three Khorramshahr 4 ballistic missiles can lead to the destruction or extensive damage to a US military base. Now, let's examine this analysis hypothetically. In 2020, Iran carried out a massive missile attack on the Ain al-Asad military base, and in this attack, 18 missiles were fired at this base, which caused significant damage to the military base. Now consider that the simultaneous launch of three Khorramshahr missiles with pre-launch warheads means launching 240 missiles at a military base, which could cause heavy damage.

Now let's assume that two important American bases, Al-Udeid and Prince Sultan, are targeted with six Khorramshahr ballistic missiles with a warhead; this event means firing 480 missiles at two military bases, and this implies hell that the Americans have never experienced anywhere in the world. Security and military analysts believe that Iran is among the top countries in the world in the field of ballistic missile development. Menashe Amir, the security and intelligence analyst at Mossad, says in this regard: Iran's ballistic missile capabilities are among the best in the world.

Pointing out that Iran's missile capabilities are even more advanced than those of Russia, he claimed that the Russian army even appears to have received or purchased missiles from the Iranian government.

The message of the unveiling of the Khormshahr 4 missile during the nuclear negotiations

The question that arises is, what is the message of the unveiling of the Khormshahr 4 missile during the nuclear negotiations? A major message of the unveiling of this ballistic missile is, in fact, to show the deterrent power to the regional hostile forces (the Zionist regime’s army) and the regime’s trans-regional allies (the United States, France, Germany, and the UK), that if they make a mistake, this missile will land on them like a thunderbolt.

Brigadier General Yadollah Javani, the deputy political officer of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, says in this regard: The unveiled Khormshahr 4 missile has extraordinary destructive power, and the enemies should know this.

He adds: The unveiling of the Khormshahr 4 missile carries its own message: although Iran has come to the negotiating table, it is not willing to give up its military power.

Military analysts believe that if Iran makes a deal over its missile power and shuts it down or limits it, it will face an unprecedented bombing campaign by the United States, because in the event of an American attack, it will no longer have the leverage to pressure the United States and its allies, and this could get Iran into trouble.

If we review the 12-day imposed war, we see that the Zionist regime’s army was forced to request a ceasefire after successive strikes in 22 waves of missile and drone attacks. If it were not for the firing of ballistic missiles, the war would certainly have continued unilaterally, and Iran’s infrastructure would have suffered serious damage. Therefore, the unveiling of the Khoramshahr 4 missiles at this time is very important because it actually sends a signal of power to the United States.

As we know, the US army is considered the strongest army in the world, according to reports from the Global Firepower website, with a military budget of about $830 billion. Also, according to reports from President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, the America, the country's army has been seriously rebuilt and is equipped with new equipment; therefore, to confront this powerful army, one must be strong; in addition to not underestimating the enemy, one must stand strong against it, and this is a very important point.

In the imposed 12-day war, the United States directly entered the field only at one point, and the operational command in this war was with the Zionist regime's army. Still, in a possible future war, the operational command will be with the United States Army, and this is exactly the reason for sending a large amount of military equipment to the region, including aircraft carriers, warships, destroyers, frigates, hundreds of fighter jets, and Delta special forces. Therefore, one must be careful and protect oneself well against enemies equipped with missile power.

The Khoramshahr 4 missile actually has a direct message to the United States, and that is that if you damage Iran's infrastructure with your equipment, we will also cause serious and severe damage to your infrastructure, resources, and interests throughout the West Asian region.
