A senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander, Brigadier General Rahim Noei-Aghdam, delivered a stark warning to Israeli leadership that, he said, recalled an attack on Be’er Sheva and threatened a far larger missile barrage. In remarks attributed to Noei-Aghdam, the commander said — “I tell you — remember this! On the twelfth day of the war we fired a Kheibar missile at ‘Be’er Sheva’, and that single missile destroyed one third of the place. I promise that 400 Kheibar and Khorramshahr missiles are ready to be launched. See what one missile did to you — imagine what 400 missiles will do.”
The quote, circulated in raw form to this newsroom, was attributed to Brig. Gen. Rahim Noei-Aghdam, a senior IRGC officer who has previously spoken publicly about Iran’s missile capabilities. Noei-Aghdam is identified in public records as a brigadier general associated with IRGC units.
Noei-Aghdam referenced two missile types by name: the Kheibar (also reported as a variant of the Khorramshahr family, sometimes called Khorramshahr-4) and the Khorramshahr. Iranian state and open-source reporting describe the Kheibar/Khorramshahr family as medium-range ballistic missiles unveiled in 2023 with reported ranges in the order of up to about 2,000 km and large warhead capacities — capabilities that place them among Tehran’s longer-range conventional missile inventory
