Iran’s Kheibar Shekan, known as the 'Castle Breaker,' is back in the spotlight after Tehran claimed it used the missile against two US bases in Jordan. The mobile ballistic missile can reportedly manoeuvre during its final flight stage, making it harder to intercept. Three American service members were killed in a July attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, where satellite imagery showed significant damage. Washington says its defences remain effective, while experts warn Iran’s evolving missile and drone tactics could expose vulnerabilities across the region. The UN is now urging maximum restraint as fighting resumes.
