DUBAI: Iran claimed on Tuesday that it had created a hypersonic missile capable of travelling at 15 times the speed of sound, adding a new weapon to its arsenal as tensions remain high with the US over Tehran’s nuclear programme.
The new missile called Fattah, or “conqueror” in Farsi was unveiled even as Iran said it reopened its diplomatic posts on Tuesday in Saudi Arabia after reaching a détente with Riyadh following years of conflict.
