The United States Central Command has proposed deploying the “Dark Eagle” hypersonic weapon near Iran, a report said. The system can travel over five times the speed of sound. It is designed for long-range strikes. No final decision has been made yet. The move comes despite a ceasefire since April 9. The weapon is built by Lockheed Martin and costs about $15 million per missile. Only eight missiles are available now. Officials say the plan aims to target deep missile sites. Tensions remain high, and future conflict could be more deadly. (PC: ConflictXtweets/X)
