TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi said that Iran will soon develop the third generation of supersonic missiles, adding that new turbofan engines will be used to accelerate the speed of the supersonic missiles in near future.
There will be changes in the engines of the Navy’s missiles that will enable them to tolerate higher temperature for longer time, Khanzadi said.

He added that the fueling and navigation systems of the Navy will also undergo changes.

I have noticed that some news sources are erroneously translating this supersonic to "hypersonic" in the media. Although I have no doubt Iran is also developing those hypersonic systems behind the scene, note that this particular news is referring to Supersonic cruise missiles systems. Iran has had supersonic anti ship ballistic missiles for over a decade now, this is regarding air breathing, low flying systems.
