TL;DR Summary

Iran has presented its first domestically-made hypersonic ballistic missile named Fattah, which has a range of 1,400 km and can penetrate all defence shields, according to Iranian state media. The missile can fly at least five times faster than the speed of sound and on a complex trajectory, making it difficult to intercept. Western concerns about Iran's missile capabilities have been heightened by the announcement. Despite opposition from the US and Europe, Iran has said it will further develop its defensive missile programme.
