Market reports indicate that Iran launched multiple Qasem Basir medium-range ballistic missiles from the Isfahan region toward the Strait of Hormuz, reportedly targeting ships operating under US naval protection. This report has not been independently confirmed, and therefore, caution should be exercised regarding the alleged first combat use of this missile. The Qasem Basir is an Iranian solid-fuel ballistic missile, reportedly equipped with terminal guidance to improve accuracy against moving targets.
