Fattah-1 (Persian: فتاح, lit.'conqueror') is an Iranian medium-range ballistic missile developed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and unveiled in June 2023. Iran has described the missile as "hypersonic", a description which has been noted as "dubious" by several media outlets including Calcalist, the Times of Israel and The Warzone;[4][5][6] and by analyst Fabian Hinz as "obscur[ing] more than it illuminates."[4] According to Iran, its high maneuverability and speed helps it to evade missile defense systems.[7][8][9][10] In November 2023, Iran unveiled a newer version of the missile, Fattah-2.[11][12]

The missile has been reported to have the capability to carry nuclear warheads should Iran further pursue its nuclear program.[13]
