Iran has for the first time used a new guided missile called «Nasrallah» during the ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel, according to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

The missile was deployed as part of the 65th wave of strikes under Operation «True Promise 4.» According to Iranian sources, the strikes targeted strategic sites, including oil refineries in Haifa and Ashdod, as well as US military facilities in the Middle East.

Technical details of the new missile have not been officially disclosed. However, the IRGC stated that the «Nasrallah» is a modernized guided version of the «Ghadr» missile, which belongs to the class of medium-range ballistic missiles and has previously been used by Iran.

The shift to guided modifications indicates Tehran’s intent to increase strike precision and effectiveness. Such missiles are believed to be capable of adjusting their trajectory during the terminal phase of flight, making interception more difficult for air and missile defense systems. According to open sources, missiles of this type may have a range of several thousand kilometers, allowing them to hit targets far beyond national borders.

Western military analysts note that the introduction of guided ballistic missiles into Iran’s arsenal could affect the balance of power in the region. Increased accuracy makes not only US military bases vulnerable, but also critical infrastructure across the Middle East, including energy facilities and transport hubs.
