🇺🇸 🇮🇷 ⚡️ — NEW: US Central Command has requested deployment of Dark Eagle hypersonic missiles to the Middle East for potential use against Iran, according to Bloomberg.

🔴 The request, if approved, would mark the first deployment of US hypersonic missiles. The Central Command cited Iran’s movement of missile launchers beyond the range of the Precision Strike Missile (over 300 miles) as a justification. However, a decision to deploy the weapons during the ongoing operation against Iran has not yet been made.

🔴 The US and Israel launched a military operation against Iran on February 28, and Trump declared a two-week ceasefire on April 7. Iran reported 3,375 deaths from 40 days of attacks, while talks in Islamabad failed to produce a long-term settlement.
