Dangerous escalation: Iran uses supersonic missile for first time against Israel

Iran claims to use hypersonic missiles to attack Israel amid escalating tensions

Fattah-1 – Iran's strategic weapon
On June 18, Iran announced that it had used the Fattah-1 hypersonic missile in the 11th attack on Israel , part of the " True Promise 3" campaign .

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stressed that its forces had "full control over the airspace of the occupied territories" , a phrase Iran uses to refer to Israel.

Fattah-1 can reach a maximum speed of 15,000 km/h , and is said to be capable of penetrating any air defense shield, although some experts doubt this ability and believe that this is just an improved ballistic missile, not a real hypersonic weapon.

Military escalation and civilian casualties
The fighting between Israel and Iran has entered its sixth day , with a series of airstrikes and missiles exchanged causing heavy casualties.

Iran said 224 people were killed and more than 1,200 injured , mostly civilians.

Israel also recorded at least 24 deaths and nearly 600 injuries . On the night of June 18, many large explosions were heard in Tehran and the city of Karaj after Israel launched a counterattack and requested an emergency evacuation in the Iranian capital.

Impact on the crypto market
Escalating tensions in the Middle East are causing investors to seek safe haven assets like Bitcoin and gold .

Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin rose slightly to $107,500 , while gold surpassed $2,400/oz due to geopolitical risk concerns.

Analysts warn that if the war continues to expand, money may continue to flow into crypto, but there is also the potential for strong volatility , especially with altcoins with low liquidity.

In the context of instability, investors are advised to keep their asset ratio safe and closely monitor regional developments .
