Iran showcases ‘Khaybar Shekan’ missile it used to attack Syria

The missile is now the pride of the Tehran regime because it was used to target an area in northwestern Syria. Iran claimed to be targeting ‘Takfiri’ groups, a word they use for ISIS and other extremists. However, Iranian media also claimed in mid-January, after the missile was used, that it was a ‘message’ to Israel.

Tasnim News showed the missile on display in Iran in a report on Wednesday. The media said that four of these large ballistic missiles had been used in January and they had been fired from southern Iran.
