Iran’s Hypersonic Missile Stuns the World, Analyst: ‘This is the War Dragon from the Middle East’
Gowa. Star7 TV – June 22, 2025 — The international community was stunned by the emergence of Iran’s hypersonic missile, Fattah, which was reportedly used in an attack on Israeli territory as part of an operation dubbed True Promise III. Footage of the missile launch went viral across social media on Wednesday night, June 18, 2025, showing a blazing trail that resembled a flaming dragon soaring through the night sky.
Middle East military analyst, Dr. Khalid al-Rashid, stated in an interview with local media that the event was not just a display of technological might, but also a powerful geopolitical message from Tehran.
“The Fattah missile is like a war dragon emerging from the heart of the Middle East. With speeds reaching up to Mach 15 and its agile maneuvering capabilities, it is extremely difficult to track by defense systems like Iron Dome or Arrow,” said Dr. Khalid.
According to Iran’s Ministry of Defense, Fattah is a two-stage solid-fuel hypersonic missile equipped with a guided warhead. This technology allows it to evade radar detection and perform sudden maneuvers, marking a major breakthrough in modern weaponry.
Former IRGC commander, Brigadier General Hossein Salami, told Iranian TV:
“Fattah is our response to intimidation. It is not just a weapon; it is a symbol of emerging power in the region.”
Meanwhile, Western defense analyst James D. Waller from Defense Watch UK commented:
“Although there is debate over whether Fattah meets international hypersonic missile standards, there’s no denying that its speed and visual impact have sparked new fears in the region.”
Israel has reportedly responded with airstrikes targeting several Iranian military facilities in Kermanshah and Tehran. However, there has been no official statement from the Israeli government regarding the effectiveness or impact of the Fattah missile on strategic infrastructure.
On social media, netizens dubbed the missile the “Flying Dragon of the Middle East” after footage showing its fiery, curving trajectory in the sky went viral. Many compared its appearance to a glowing dragon flying freely — a symbol of both power and threat.
