TEHRAN (ANN) – Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reports that a British media outlet has acknowledged the advanced capability and precision of Iran’s hypersonic missile systems, stating that they can evade dozens of interceptor missiles before striking their intended targets.
According to a report published Tuesday by Daily Mail, widely circulated images appear to show an Iranian hypersonic missile maneuvering through what was described as a multi-layered U.S.–Israeli defense shield before successfully reaching its target.
The footage, which quickly went viral across international media platforms, reportedly shows several air defense systems attempting to track and intercept the projectile. However, the missile is seen altering its trajectory and accelerating, bypassing defensive barriers.

Hypersonic Edge
Defense analysts note that hypersonic missiles — due to their extreme speed and maneuverability — are inherently more difficult to track than conventional ballistic missiles. The British report suggested that Iran’s hypersonic systems demonstrated a particularly high level of evasive performance under combat conditions.
The development comes amid intensifying hostilities in West Asia following joint U.S.–Israeli military operations against Iran.
Broader Conflict Context
Iranian authorities state that the confrontation began in the early hours of February 28, 2026, during a period when indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington were reportedly underway through regional mediators. Iranian officials allege that the strikes resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — a claim that has not been independently verified by multiple international sources.
Tehran maintains that its subsequent missile and drone operations targeted Israeli military positions in the occupied Palestinian territories and U.S. military facilities across the region.
Iranian officials argue that these actions fall under the country’s inherent right to self-defense as outlined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, aimed at deterrence and preventing further escalation.
Rising International Concerns
Military observers warn that the demonstrated performance of hypersonic weapons could significantly alter regional security calculations. The growing use of advanced missile technology in active conflict zones has heightened concerns among global powers about the risks of wider escalation.
Iran has warned that any continuation or expansion of military action against it would be met with a stronger and broader response.

As tensions remain high, international diplomatic efforts appear increasingly urgent to prevent a wider regional confrontation.

Diplomatic efforts between Tehran and Washington have effectively collapsed following the attacks on the Iranian capital during the Geneva talks, an incident that Iranian officials say resulted in the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and shattered any remaining trust in negotiations. The strikes, which occurred while indirect discussions were reportedly underway with mediation from Haitham bin Tariq’s government in Geneva, led to the immediate closure of diplomatic channels, with Tehran describing the move as a “second ambush” during dialogue efforts, further undermining prospects for the resumption of talks between the United States and Iran.
