Israel-Iran conflict: What is Iran's Fattah missile capable of?
Amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, Tehran confirmed the launch of its domestically developed hypersonic missile, Fattah-1, during a coordinated nighttime attack. According to Iranian state media, Fattah was deployed to target strategic locations inside Israel, with reports of damage and fires in Tel Aviv and central districts. Also Read: A brief history of Iran and Israel's escalating conflict: Timeline What is the Fattah missile? The Fattah, meaning 'Conqueror' in Persian, is Iran's first domestically designed hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile. Developed by the IRGC Aerospace Force and unveiled on June 6, 2023, it features solid-fuel propulsion and a two-stage setup. Iran claims a range of approximately 1,400 km and terminal speeds between Mach 13 and Mach 15, allowing it to strike targets across the Middle East, including Israel. How fast and far can Fattah reach? Tehran asserts the missile achieves speeds up to 15 times the speed of sound and can travel up to 1,400 km, placing strategic targets, including US and Israeli military bases, within its striking range. Has Fattah been used in combat before? In October 2024, Fattah‑1 was reportedly employed during 'Operation True Promise II' against Israel, in retaliation for Israel's assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. More recently, during escalating tensions in mid‑June 2025, Iran confirmed the launch of Fattah‑1 missiles at Israel amid nighttime barrage operations. While Iranian state media claims strikes caused fires in Tel Aviv and central Israel. What is Iran's Fattah capable of? Iran's state television reported that the missile could pass through any regional missile defence system, though it offered no evidence to support the claim. The TV broadcast what appeared to be a model of the missile being unveiled by Iran's Revolutionary Guard before President Ebrahim Raisi. In November 2022, General Amir Ali Hajizadeh of the Revolutionary Guard claimed that Iran had created a hypersonic missile, without offering any evidence in support. Iran positions Fattah as a high-speed, manoeuvrable missile platform capable of offsetting Western and Israeli air-defence systems.
