Iran is boasting that it has hypersonic missiles and says it already has begun firing the cutting-edge weapons at Israel.

Amid escalating hostilities between Iran and Israel, Tehran has deployed its newly-inducted Fattah hypersonic ballistic missile, capable of evading Israel's advanced air defence systems, including the Iron Dome.

While Israeli officials claim that 90% of Iranian missiles have been intercepted since June 13, reports indicate that Israel’s defenses are being overwhelmed, with the long-touted Iron Dome reportedly close to depletion.
