YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

US Central Command has asked to send the Army's Dark Eagle hypersonic missile to the Middle East for possible use against Iran, seeking a longer-range system to hit ballistic-missile launchers deep inside the country. #iran #politics #worldnews #trump #usa #israel

The request justifies the move by saying Iran has moved its launchers out of range of the Precision Strike Missile, which can hit targets at more than 300 miles.

If approved, the deployment would mark the first time the US will have deployed its hypersonic missile and would send a signal to strategic adversaries Russia and China that the US is finally able to match a capability that they've long since mastered.
