The Israel Defense Forces is examining whether the Iranian Khorramshahr-4 missile was among those fired Thursday morning at Israeli territory.

The Iranian Khorramshahr-4 missile, first unveiled in May 2023, carries the capability to scatter approximately 80 small rocket projectiles – each roughly the size of standard artillery munition and comparable to the well-known Grad rocket. IDF officials are investigating whether this weapon system was deployed in Thursday morning's missile barrage.

Contrary to Iranian claims, military analysts say the technology doesn't represent true Multiple Independently-targetable Reentry Vehicle (MIRV) capabilities possessed by the United States and Russia. Instead, the system functions as conventional ammunition dispersal over wide areas – operating more like cluster munitions than precision-guided weapons.

The missile's declared range reaches 1,243 miles (2,000 kilometers) with an accuracy level of several dozen yards from its intended target.
