Tehran has not sent hypersonic missiles to Yemen’s Houthis, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says in a televised news conference, a day after the Iran-backed group said a missile it fired at Israel was a hypersonic one.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would inflict a “heavy price” on the Houthis who control northern Yemen, after they reached central Israel with a missile yesterday for the first time.
“It takes a person a week to travel to Yemen [from Iran], how could this missile have gotten there? We don’t have such missiles to provide to Yemen,” Pezeshkian says.
However, last year Iran presented what it described as Tehran’s first domestically made hypersonic ballistic missile, with state media publishing pictures of the missile named “Fattah” at a ceremony.
Pezeshkian also denies that his government transferred any weapons to Russia since he took office in August.
