Israel-Iran War: Iran launches its most lethal Fattah missile, declares total destruction of..., Supreme leader says...
New Delhi: The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran has entered the seventh day, with both the countries launching deadly missiles in a dramatic intensification of hostilities. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared, '…the battle begins,' and vowed to show Israel 'no mercy' in a series of strongly worded posts on X. 'We must give a strong response to the terrorist Zionist regime,' he said.
On Wednesday, Iran unveiled its Fateh missile. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that Fateh hypersonic missiles were used in Operation Honest Promise 3. The IRGC stated that the missile successfully penetrated Israel's air defense and sent a message to its supporters. All You Need To Know About Fateh hypersonic missile: In November 2022, Iran unveiled the Fattah missile to mark the 11th death anniversary of Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, known as the father of Iran's missile program.
The missile was later inducted into Iran's military arsenal in 2023.
Fateh hypersonic missile is developed by the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)
Fattah is a medium-range ballistic missile with hypersonic speed capabilities and advanced maneuverability.
The name 'Fattah,' meaning 'victor' or 'conqueror,' was reportedly chosen by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Fattah can strike targets up to 1,400 km away and is believed to travel at speeds of Mach 13 to Mach 15 (approximately 15,000 km/h).
Iran claims the missile is designed to evade modern missile defence systems by shifting trajectory mid-flight and moving in unpredictable directions — up, down, left, right — even within the upper atmosphere.
Its high-speed envelope generates a plasma shield that not only blinds enemy radar but also blocks radio transmissions. Iran Must Surrender Unconditionally
US President Donald Trump asked Tehran's citizens to evacuate the city and demanded Iran's unconditional surrender. Trump said, 'I am not hoping for a ceasefire. We are hoping for something better than a ceasefire.' He added that the U.S. wants to see a true end to the conflict, which could include Iran's 'complete surrender.' He further stated, 'I'm not in the mood to negotiate.'
Meanwhile, Israel has claimed to have killed another top Iranian military official, General Ali Shademani. Earlier, senior general Gholam Ali Rashid had also been killed in an Israeli strike.

US President Donald Trump is considering direct military involvement in the Iran conflict but has delayed a decision for up to two weeks. He has, however, called for an "unconditional surrender" from Iran. Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned such action would be "very dangerous for everyone." Meanwhile, experts say only America's bunker-buster bombs could target Iran's heavily fortified Fordo nuclear site. Earlier in the day, Israel's military announced it struck Iranian nuclear research facility in Isfahan overnight and killed three senior Iranian commanders in targeted operations, while signaling preparations for a prolonged conflict. The conflict began on June 13, when Israel launched a series of airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, military installations, top commanders, and nuclear scientists. According to a Washington-based Iranian human rights organization, the attacks have so far claimed at least 722 lives—among them 285 civilians—and left over 2,500 injured. In response, Iran has launched over 450 missiles and around 1,000 drones at Israel, according to estimates from the Israeli military. While Israel's layered air defense systems have intercepted the majority of the attacks, at least 24 people have been killed and hundreds more injured.
