Jerusalem / Tehran — Intelligence leaks are igniting a firestorm after Iranian and regional sources claimed the missile that allegedly “hit” the Israeli Prime Minister’s office compound was a specially modified Kheibar Shekan, tailored as a one‑off “revenge weapon” for the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

According to IRGC insiders quoted on Iranian state TV, the missile was a stealth‑tuned variant of the Kheibar Shekan family, fitted with a maneuverable re‑entry vehicle and an upgraded guidance package designed to home in on “high‑value political coordinates” in central Jerusalem. Animated graphics boasted that the warhead could dip low, weave past air‑defence envelopes and explode with “surgical shock power” just meters from hardened targets.

In Jerusalem, officials insist the PM’s secure office was not directly struck, but begrudgingly admit a “near‑miss impact” inside the wider compound caused structural damage, shattered windows and sent staff scrambling into deep bunkers as sirens wailed across the government quarter. Images of scorched courtyards and smashed conference rooms are already circulating online despite a tight censorship clampdown.

Israeli defence analysts call the attack “a psychological arrow aimed at the heart of decision‑making,” warning that the message from Tehran is clear: if it can tailor a Kheibar Shekan to brush the Prime Minister’s door, next time it might not miss.

For Iran, branding the modified missile “Kheibar Shekan – Khamenei Edition” turns hardware into propaganda, selling the strike as personal vengeance. For Israel, it is a chilling reminder that the battle with Iran is no longer only about bases and bunkers — but about who can credibly threaten the other side’s very nerve centre of power.
