The US Air Force is said to have deployed missiles that could destroy Iran's nuclear facilities without causing any fatalities, the Daily Mail reported. The futuristic electronic warfare missile emits microwave and directed-energy (DE) lasers to obliterate its targets, as per the report. These missiles can be used for a range of scenarios, including knocking down the electronics of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The development comes amid the latest dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East. On April 19, Israel carried out an airstrike against Iran in response to Tehran's missile and drone attack. Israel fired three air-launched ballistic missiles during the attack on Iran, NBC News reported, citing officials. As a result of the “limited” retaliatory strike on sites in Iran, explosions were reported near the city of Isfahan, home to Iran’s Natanz nuclear reactor.
