No Safe Place: Tehran Unveils the Khorramshahr 4 Ballistic Missile
Tehran has released a high-tech AI propaganda video showcasing the Khorramshahr 4 missile, threatening to bypass all defense systems and strike Israeli strategic centers with pinpoint accuracy.
In a significant escalation of psychological warfare, Iranian state-affiliated media has released a sophisticated AI-generated video targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the broader security establishment of both Israel and the United States. The footage, which blends high-quality digital animation with cinematic threats, showcases the alleged capabilities of the Khorramshahr 4 ballistic missile, a weapon Tehran claims marks a new era in regional military dominance. This digital display of force comes at a time of heightened regional tension, with the Iranian regime using the video to broadcast a message of "absolute power" and to warn that the days of defensive impunity for its enemies have come to an end.
The Mechanics of a Super-Weapon
The video provides a detailed, albeit dramatized, look at the technical specifications of the Khorramshahr 4, which the narrator describes as an "Iranian giant." According to the propaganda, the missile is equipped with next-generation liquid fuel, allowing it to be stored in silos for extended periods, ready for immediate deployment. The scale of the threat is centered on its destructive potential, with the video stating it carries a "warhead weighing one and a half tons," allegedly giving it the "heaviest destructive power among the world's medium-range ballistic missiles".
A central theme of the presentation is the missile's ability to evade modern defense systems, such as Israel’s Iron Dome, Arrow, and David’s Sling. The video claims the weapon utilizes "mid-course guidance" and "trajectory correction outside the atmosphere," where it supposedly moves in a manner that "no radar has the ability to track". The most alarming statistic provided in the footage is an "atmospheric reentry speed" of "more than 16 Mach". The narrator warns that at such speeds, "before the sirens are set off, the target has been erased from the map".
A Direct Threat to Leadership
The video does not shy away from personalizing its threats. It features AI-generated scenes of Prime Minister Netanyahu in a war room, looking visibly distressed as he points to a hologram of the missile. The narration accompanies these images with a grim ultimatum: "When the clock is set for the hour of regret, no shield will be effective". The video identifies various targets, from "hangars fortified by concrete at the heart of the desert" to "sensitive and strategic centers built deep within the occupied territories," asserting that all these locations now "fall within the grip of their deadly precision".
Tehran frames this military advancement as a "defensive doctrine," yet the rhetoric remains aggressively offensive. The video concludes by declaring the "end of the hit and run era" and the beginning of a period defined by "absolute power". By showcasing an "army of heavy warheads" that "penetrate through layers of defense," the regime aims to project a sense of inevitability regarding a future war. As the video ends with an image of the missile being paraded through the streets of Tehran amidst cheering crowds, the final message is clear: "We are prepared".
