Iran Repurposes Unexploded US Tomahawk Missiles for Domestic Development
Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
Iran has reportedly salvaged unexploded U.S. Tomahawk cruise missiles and is using them to advance its own missile technology.
According to a Middle East Eye press review, Iranian officials claim they have recovered several Tomahawk warheads that failed to detonate during U.S. operations. The missiles are said to be undergoing analysis and modification in Iranian facilities.
The move follows a pattern of Iran’s efforts to reverse‑engineer foreign weapon systems, though no further details on the scale or progress of the program have been released.
