Iran vows preemptive action against threats while touting improved ballistic missile

A senior Iranian military official has announced that the country has tested an upgraded ballistic missile. According to the official, the missile was evaluated against a US warship during the test. Tehran has emphasized that it will not hesitate to take preemptive action against its enemies if it perceives a threat. These developments come as regional tensions continue to escalate. Simultaneously, Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has urged the Islamic Republic to increase its cooperation with the agency. This call comes as Western nations are actively seeking to refer Iran's nuclear file to the United Nations Security Council.
