What is Iran's Castle Breaker missile, once used to attack US bases?
Iran's Kheibar Shekan (Castle Breaker) medium-range ballistic missile has become central to escalating US-Iran tensions, with Tehran using it in retaliatory strikes on American forces in the Middle East. Developed by the IRGC, it features solid fuel for rapid launch, a range of 1,450 km, and is part of Iran's broader missile arsenal. Recent clashes have also drawn the Strait of Hormuz back into focus amid oil price surges.
