News Topical, Digital Desk : Tensions between the US and Iran have escalated once again. Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei has issued a major statement responding to threats from former US President Trump. He has said that if pressure is applied, Iran could target US warships.

It is being reported that the US has deployed two of its largest warships to pressure Iran. In response, Khamenei said that Iran possesses weapons capable of sinking these massive ships. His statement is not being considered merely a threat. Defense experts say that Iran has made special preparations for war in the narrow Gulf passages, especially the Strait of Hormuz, over the past ten years.

Reliance on career-killing technology

The strength Khamenei referred to is called carrier-killer technology. Iran is believed to have developed a strategy that allows it to target large warships.

Carrier Killer Missile Khalij Fars

Iran's Khalij Fars missile is said to be an anti-ship ballistic missile. Its speed is said to be three times the speed of sound. It is said to be capable of accurately targeting large warships or aircraft carriers at sea. Its special feature is that it is considered difficult to intercept.

Super Fast Torpedo Haut

Iran also possesses a torpedo called the Hout. Its speed is reported to be around 360 kilometers per hour. It travels very fast underwater, many times faster than conventional torpedoes. It employs special technology, making it difficult for any navy to intercept.

Suicide drones and swarm technology

The strategy Khamenei mentioned involves drones like the Shahid and Ababil. Iran's plan could be to launch a simultaneous attack using multiple small drones and fast boats. A large ship surrounded by small attacks from all sides could be difficult to defend.

Does Iran have hypersonic power?

Recently, Iran demonstrated a hypersonic missile called the Fattah. It was claimed that this missile could penetrate any air defense system. It is believed that Khamenei was referring to this. His message is clear: if the US uses its naval power, Iran is ready to respond with its new technology.
