[50632] Iran claims: We have developed a 'Rain' missile capable of launching hundreds of bombs simultaneously

Iran presents: A missile with the capability to split into 80 bombs

In reports published today, May 5, 2026, Hossein-Ali Haji-Deligani, Deputy Chairman of the Article 90 Committee of the Iranian Majlis, revealed that the Islamic Republic possesses a "Rain" type missile with operational split capability. According to his words, each missile is capable of dividing into 80 bombs or separate parts during flight.

Haji-Deligani presented a theoretical scenario of launching a volley: "If 10 missiles are launched simultaneously, the amount reaches 800 bombs." Meanwhile, he cast doubt on the ability of Western air defense to deal with the threat, as according to an Iran International report (known for its harsh criticism of the regime in Tehran), the Majlis member wondered: "Which air defense, which 'THAAD' or 'Patriot' exists that can shoot these down?".

The report was verified and published simultaneously by media outlets identified with the Iranian establishment, including آخرین خبر and خراسان آنلاین. These media outlets, which are considered close to Tehran's official policy, echoed Haji-Deligani's words as part of a campaign of psychological warfare and a demonstration of military power against the West and the defense systems of neighboring countries.

These statements join a series of remarks by Iranian government officials regarding the development of ballistic and hypersonic missile technologies in recent years, with the goal of deterring its regional and global rivals.
