The AGM-158 (JASSM – Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile) is a long-range, stealthy cruise missile developed by Lockheed Martin for the US Air Force. It is designed to penetrate advanced air defense systems and has been deployed as a key weapon throughout the unlawful aggression.
In a separate operation, IRGC air defense units tracked and destroyed an additional AGM-158 cruise missile over Markazi Province in central Iran.
