Iron Dome’s successor, lasers: Bad news for Iran as Israel plans secret weapons against Khamenei’s regime
Iran-Israel war: In a massive development, Israel is developing advanced new weapons, including the Iron Beam laser defense system. As part of the counter threats from Iran and its allies, Israel is reportedly pouring billions to replenish its arsenal and making new secret weapons. Following recent conflicts, Israel’s defense industry is working at full capacity to replenish stockpiles and introduce cost-effective, high-tech systems aimed at maintaining its military edge and deterring future attacks.
“Stand-off missiles developed by Israel’s defense industries allowed its aircraft to precisely strike key parts of Iran’s air defense system from afar. Missiles like the Rampage and the ROCKS were launched at their targets long before Israeli jets even entered Iranian airspace. Simultaneously, Mossad units operated drones deep inside Tehran, targeting top Revolutionary Guard commanders and senior figures in Iran’s nuclear program,” the report added.
Is Israel building Iron Dome’s successor?
Reports also claimed that reports claimed that Israel is working on Iron Dome’s successor.
“Iron Beam is a 100-kilowatt-class High-Energy Laser Weapon System that will detonate the propellant or high explosive warhead on a rocket. In theory, it will have an unlimited number of shots, rather than 20 missiles per battery like Iron Dome. It will also be far more cost-efficient as the only limiting factor is its reliability and access to electricity, which costs approximately 14 cents per kilowatt hour in Israel,” as per a report of the Popular Mechanics.
Iran calls on UN to recognise US, Israel as initiators of ‘aggression’
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi called on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to recognise Israel and the United States as the initiators of the “aggression” against Iran. In a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and UNSC President Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, Araghchi on Sunday, urged the Council to fulfill its responsibility in maintaining international peace and security, according to the official IRNA news agency.
He accused Israel of deliberately targeting residential buildings, civilians, and civilian infrastructure, describing the attacks as a “flagrant breach” of the UN Charter and a “blatant violation” of international law.
