On the morning of September 6, Iran launched a missile attack on a US warship that Trump could never have imagined. The US Central Command launched the attack and with great fanfare released a video of the sinking of three Iranian oil tankers. Now it was the turn of the IRGC, or Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps. The IRGC is the Iranian military organization that Trump has been threatening to destroy every ten days with its navy, air force and missile launchers. But today, after the Iranian attack, Trump’s claim has been ridiculed. After every statement, as soon as his Central Command launched the attack, all the Iranian weapons that Trump claimed to have destroyed, today came to life. Today, Iran launched its missile, for which the US Navy has no answer. It is called the anti-ship hypersonic missile ‘‘Qassem Basar.’’
Two American aircraft carriers are currently deployed in the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman, namely, USS George Washington and George Bush. A third aircraft carrier was deployed off the coast of Pattaya, Thailand. These aircraft carriers are accompanied by the destroyers USS Soup, (DDG-86), USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. and USS Robert Smalls. After the attack on the tanker, Iran launched attacks on all these ships from Qassem Basar. Within minutes, three American merchant ships were destroyed. Evidence of damage to the American warships has not yet been found. However, Trump has now been condemned in Washington.
A few days ago, General Randy George, the ousted chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said, “Donald Trump needs to be hospitalized. He is leading the American military towards disaster.”
How will Bush and Lincoln resist?
It seems that what Randy George said a few days ago has been proven right. Exhausted from six months of war and with his ammunition depleted, Trump declared ‘Economy Day’. The plan was to strangle Iran with economic sanctions. Russia and China stood in the way. Modi also announced that he would increase his trade basket with Iran. Confused, Trump launched another attack on the Strait of Hormuz. And he has suffered a great loss.
Qasem Basar can destroy any air defense system:
After the launch of the Qasem Basar missile, American strategist David Payne has warned his country. He claimed that no one has ever fired a hypersonic missile at an American warship. Its speed can be nine times faster than the speed of sound. The Qasem Basar missile can travel at a speed of 6,000 to 9,800 kilometers per hour. In addition, the US Navy currently has very limited capabilities to intercept hypersonic missiles. As a result, Iran’s hypersonic ship anti-missile could pose a serious threat to American aircraft carriers and their accompanying warships.
Iran has already attacked the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier:
Imagine if just one or two of these missiles hit a US aircraft carrier, caught fire and retreated from the area of deployment after suffering serious damage, it would be a significant blow to US military power and prestige. The missile is named after Qassem Soleimani, the former commander of Iran’s Quds Force.
Features of Qasem Basra:
Two-stage solid-fuel ballistic missile
Strike range: About 1,200 km
Warhead: About 500 kg
Speed: This missile reaches a speed of about Mach 11 from the re-entry phase

Precise guidance (electro-optical/IR seeker): Instead of relying on traditional GPS, this missile has electro-optical and infrared thermal imaging sensors. This means that even if the enemy jams the GPS signal, the missile can still use its camera and sensors to identify the target and launch a precise attack.
Mahir to evade air defense systems (MaRV): It is equipped with a maneuverable reentry vehicle (MREV), which helps it change direction in mid-air. This makes it very difficult for missile defense systems like the US’s THAAD, Patriot, or Israel’s ‘Arrow’ to intercept it.
Rapid deployment: Being solid fuel based, it requires very little preparation time for launch, which does not give the enemy time to be alerted in advance.
