Iran is showing off a new, stronger missile. They say this weapon proves they are ready to strike first if they feel threatened.
Recently, Iranian officials shared videos that they claim show their missiles hitting US Navy warships. While these reports are making headlines, they are part of a bigger argument between Iran and the United States.
One of the weapons being talked about is called the “Castle Breaker” missile. Experts say this is designed to be very hard for defense systems to stop. Iran claims this missile has already been used against US bases.
This tension is also affecting nearby countries. Experts believe that Jordan is now at risk because of its close relationship with the United States. Because Jordan works so closely with the US military, officials think it could become a target for Iranian attacks.
All of this comes as Iran continues to push for more power in the region. By showing off these weapons, they are sending a message to the US and its allies that they are not afraid to take action.
