Tehran is stoking fresh alarm across the region after hinting it is preparing to field “never‑seen‑before” missiles, just hours after Kheibar Shekan and Ghadr strikes left parts of Tel Aviv ablaze and Israel scrambling to reᴀssess its defences.

In a late‑night broadcast, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard unveiled shadowy footage of sleek, covered launch canisters and computer renderings of new systems dubbed only “Project Z‑1” and “Z‑2.” Commanders boasted these next‑gen weapons would “finish the job Kheibar and Ghadr began,” claiming they can out‑maneuver Israel’s Arrow and David’s Sling “from launch to impact.”

The teaser came on the heels of one of the war’s most punishing barrages, in which Kheibar Shekan and Ghadr missiles punched through Israel’s layered shield, igniting warehouses, fuel depots and apartment blocks on Tel Aviv’s outskirts. Drone images of burning industrial parks and smoke‑choked highways have fueled talk of a capital suddenly feeling far less invulnerable.

Israeli officials publicly insist they retain “decisive technological superiority,” but defence sources admit behind closed doors that Iran’s talk of manoeuvring re‑entry vehicles, decoys and possible hypersonic glide stages has triggered an emergency review of radar, interception doctrine and shelter policy for the Gush Dan metro area.

For ordinary Israelis watching flames on the skyline while Iranian TV teases the “next wave” of missiles, the question is brutally simple: if Kheibar and Ghadr could do this, what happens when Tehran finally pulls the covers off whatever comes next?
