First-Ever PrSM Strike in Iran Highlights Expanded U.S. Long-Range Capabilities
TL;DR Summary
CENTCOM says the US used Precision Strike Missiles (PrSMs) for the first time in its Iran conflict, praising them as enabling deep, precise strikes though launch location and targets remain undisclosed. PrSMs are Lockheed Martin’s long-range GPS-guided missiles (60 km to over 499 km) compatible with HIMARS and M270 launchers, designed to replace ATACMs and able to carry two per pod, with open architecture and an insensitive payload. Their use under Operation Epic Fury expands US long-range strike options near Iran amid broader regional dynamics and debates over range limits from the INF-era framework.
