Iran launches 10 hypersonic missiles in recent attacks

Regional and Asian outlets focus on Iran’s rejection of de‑escalation offers and the attack on its nuclear sites, warning that the non‑proliferation system is under strain. They note that Iran’s new supreme leader is taking a harder line toward the US while Israel says it still has thousands of targets left. Many in this block see a risk that a drawn‑out war, with hypersonic and Sejjil missiles in play, could push Iran’s nuclear program and regional alliances in more confrontational directions.
