> Iran’s Kheibar Shekan, or “Castle Breaker”, is a medium-range ballistic missile developed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. With a range of about 1,450km and solid-fuel propulsion, it can be launched within minutes. Iran says it has used the missile against US military targets in Jordan and the UAE as fighting with the US and Israel escalated this week.
