Iran Deploying Maneuvering Hypersonic Missiles, Evading US Defenses — WSJ
🛡️ TEHRAN — Iran was supposedly out of long-range missiles. Now they're maneuvering them. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: The 90% missile-loss figure described degraded fixed launchers, not warhead technology. Hypersonic maneuvering reentry vehicles defeat Patriot and THAAD by changing trajectory mid-flight. If Iran retained even a small inventory, every US base in the region — and Fifth Fleet in Bahrain — faces a threat tier current defenses weren't designed to stop.
