The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, elite units of the Iranian armed forces) has deployed its latest long-range ballistic missile, the Khorramshahr-4, at one of its bases, Iranian broadcaster PressTV reported on Thursday.
This reportedly indicates the inclusion of the missile in Iran's defense doctrine.
The Khorramshahr-4 has a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) and can carry a 1,500-kilogram (3,300-pound) explosive warhead, the broadcaster reported.
Iran's demonstration of the Khorramshahr-4 ballistic missile signaled to the United States that Tehran has no intention of abandoning its defense capabilities, Brig. Gen. Yadollah Javani, deputy commander for political affairs of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), told Al Mayadeen broadcaster on Thursday.
He also noted that Iran "will not retreat from its positions and does not seek war," while cautioning that any "mistake by the enemy will be met with a strong response."
Javani reportedly added that a group of Iranian diplomats will be able to conduct upcoming talks with the US in Oman "with full confidence, relying on Iran’s strength and military capabilities."
On Friday, US Special Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are expected to hold nuclear talks in Oman.
In January, US President Donald Trump said a "massive armada" was heading towards Iran, adding that he hoped Tehran would agree to negotiate and sign a "fair and equitable" deal involving the complete abandonment of nuclear weapons. The president warned that if no agreement on Iran's nuclear program was reached, any future US strike on the country would be "far worse" than the previous ones.
