“Americans Are Target...” Iran Threatens US, Israel With 1,200KM Range Qassem Basir Missile | CLRCUT

Iran’s unveiling of the Qassem Basir ballistic missile marks a major escalation in its strategic messaging to the US and Israel. Named after slain commander Qassem Soleimani, the solid-fuelled missile boasts a range of 1,200 kilometres, radar evasion technology, and high manoeuvrability—allowing it to bypass advanced air defences and deliver precision strikes. With deployment across Iran’s underground missile bases, Tehran insists the weapon is defensive, but has warned of “overwhelming force” if provoked. The launch, timed just after a Houthi strike near Tel Aviv, drew sharp warnings from Israel and the US, further straining already-stalled nuclear talks. While some experts urge caution over Iran’s claims, others see Qassem Basir as a credible leap in missile capability—part of a broader strategy to deter, retaliate, and shift the region’s military balance.
