(Worthy News) – Iran has announced the successful test of a new medium-range ballistic missile—Qassem Basir—boasting advanced capabilities designed to evade some of the world’s most sophisticated air defense systems, including the U.S.-made THAAD, currently deployed in Israel.

Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh claims the solid-fueled missile has a range of 1,200 kilometers and can breach layered missile defense systems. “With the latest upgrade, Israel will intercept no more than five out of 200 missiles,” he declared on Iranian state television. The missile, he added, was specifically developed to overcome shortcomings exposed during Iran’s previous missile and drone campaigns—True Promise 1 and 2—against Israel.

The missile test, aired by Iranian state TV on May 4, featured footage of the Qassem Basir striking its intended target. Tasnim News Agency, closely linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), described the missile as an upgraded version of the “Martyr Hajj Qassem,” named after Qassem Soleimani, the IRGC Quds Force commander killed by a U.S. drone strike in 2020.

The announcement came just hours after Iranian-backed Houthi rebels launched a missile attack near Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, injuring several civilians and causing brief flight disruptions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned Iran’s involvement, vowing retaliation against both the Houthis and Tehran.

According to experts, the Qassem Basir is Iran’s first medium-range ballistic missile equipped with an optical seeker, marking a leap forward in targeting precision. Russian weapons analyst Yuri Lyamin stated that the new missile now replaces the Zolfaghar Basir as Iran’s longest-range missile with such technology.

Nasirzadeh emphasized the missile’s resilience against electronic jamming and its capability to penetrate even advanced interception systems. “We hold no animosity toward our neighboring nations—they are like sisters—but U.S. military installations are our targets,” he said, sending a pointed message to Arab countries hosting American forces.

Iranian media further claimed that Qassem Basir missiles have already been stationed in concealed bases across the country, ready to be deployed should conflict erupt. “Iran does not seek confrontation,” Nasirzadeh added, “but will respond firmly if challenged.”

Meanwhile, new revelations about Iran’s cyber activities have intensified regional unease. A detailed report from cybersecurity firm Fortinet revealed that Iranian hackers—known as the Lemon Sandstorm group—had infiltrated critical infrastructure across the Middle East for over two years. “This cyber campaign is among the most complex ever discovered in the region,” Fortinet experts noted, citing Iranian efforts to control physical systems managing water and electricity supplies.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
