Bloomberg reports that the US Central Command has deployed hypersonic missiles for use against Iran, with the 'Dark Eagle' being a significant weapon. This deployment coincides with Washington's mobilization of three aircraft carriers in the region, carrying thousands of troops, fighter jets, and escort warships.

Military expert Brigadier General Hassan Jouni believes the deployment of the 'Dark Eagle' hypersonic missile enhances the likelihood of limited strikes or ground operations. The missile, capable of reaching 3,000 kilometers with immense speed, could be used to target Iranian missile sites, potentially avoiding direct engagement with new Iranian weaponry believed to have been acquired by Tehran.
