Tehran: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Monday that certain Iranian missiles have been upgraded to change their course mid-flight, enhancing their ability to evade air defense systems. This development was disclosed by IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohabi during an event in Qazvin, as reported by the official IRNA news agency.

According to Anadolu Agency, Mohabi highlighted the advancements in Iranian missile technology, which now includes guidance systems and the capability to adjust their trajectory during flight. This technological leap allows the missiles to bypass enemy air defenses more effectively. Mohabi cited the recent conflict with the United States as a demonstration of these capabilities, where Iranian missiles were used to target strategic components of what he referred to as the "enemy's power network."

The spokesman emphasized that Iran's strategy in what he termed "technological warfare" extends beyond physical destruction. The aim also includes undermining the decision-making and defense networks of its adversaries. The ongoing military conflict between Iran and the U.S. began after a joint offensive by the U.S. and Israel against Tehran in February, leading to heightened tensions across the region. In response, Iran launched attacks on regional countries hosting American military assets.

Although Iran and the U.S. reached a ceasefire in April and signed a memorandum of understanding in June to end hostilities, the agreement unraveled last month. This resulted in a renewed exchange of attacks between Tehran and Washington for nearly two weeks. The hostilities ceased abruptly when U.S. President Donald Trump halted the bombardment amid emerging reports of negotiations to resolve the conflict.
