Iran claims it possesses capability to evade US missile defense system
According to Russian media, Iran has developed advanced Iran missile technology capable of avoiding interception while striking targets with high accuracy.
However, these claims have not been independently verified, and US officials have not publicly confirmed the reported capabilities.
The reports say the new Iran missiles can travel at extremely high speeds and change direction during flight.
Analysts believe these features could make them much harder for the US missile defense system to detect and intercept compared with conventional missiles.
The reported Iran missile technology has raised questions about how modern air defense systems would respond if such weapons were used in combat.
Experts say missiles with maneuvering capabilities are generally more difficult to stop because they can alter their flight path before reaching their targets.
Russian media also claimed that the Pentagon is concerned about how Iran has been able to strike sensitive targets with increasing precision.
However, the US Department of Defense has not officially confirmed any technical assessment regarding these reports or acknowledged that the US missile defense system has been bypassed.
The reports come as US-Iran tensions remain high across the Middle East. Earlier this week, two US soldiers were killed and several others were injured in an attack on a US military base in Jordan, further escalating the regional security situation.

Military experts caution that claims surrounding Iran missile attack capabilities and Iran missile technology should be treated carefully until they are verified by official or independent sources.
They note that competing narratives are common during periods of conflict and heightened political tensions.
The ongoing US-Iran tensions have kept global attention focused on the region, with governments closely monitoring military developments and the possibility of further escalation.
Reports about Iran missiles and their alleged ability to evade the US missile defense system are likely to intensify debate over the balance of military power in the Middle East.
