Iran says it fired one of its biggest ballistic missiles targeting Israel after US strikes

Iranian state TV showed what appeared to be previous test-firing footage of the Khorramshahr-4 missile, with an on-screen caption saying it was used on Sunday in a barrage on Israel.

The Khorramshahr-4 has the heaviest payload of Iran’s ballistic missile fleet, which analysts say may be designed to keep the weapon under a 2,000-kilometre range limit imposed by the country’s supreme leader.

The missile has been described as having a 2,000-kilometre (1,240-mile) range with a 1,500-kilogram (3,300-pound) warhead.
