IRGC shifts to 1-ton warhead missiles as Iran war enters more destructive phase

Published on Mar 11, 2026 12:30 pm IST

Days after Mojtaba Khamenei becomes Iran’s new supreme leader, the IRGC signals a terrifying tactical upgrade. New reports suggest the IRGC is preparing to deploy missiles carrying massive one-ton warheads as the war with the United States and Israel intensifies. Analysts say the shift from lighter warheads to heavier payloads could dramatically increase blast damage and make missile interceptions far more difficult. The move follows weeks of drone swarms and missile barrages that targeted bases and energy infrastructure across the region. With Iran’s vast missile arsenal now taking center stage, military planners warn the conflict could soon reach a much more destructive stage.
