Unconfirmed market reports say Iran launched multiple 'Qasem Basir' medium-range
ballistic missiles from Isfahan toward the Strait of Hormuz, reportedly
targeting vessels operating under US Navy protection. The report has not been
independently verified; the claim of first combat use should be treated
cautiously. Qasem Basir is a solid-fuel ballistic missile Iran says is fitted
with terminal guidance to improve accuracy against moving targets.
