I'll walk that comment back. I've only heard of suspicions or allegations of the use of hypersonic missiles. But so far I haven't come across anything more concrete.

I think the current understanding is that Iran is leading with all their cheap missiles since American and Israeli defenses will only last a few weeks of sustained attacks. The calculus works out in Iran's favor to slowly introduce their more sophisticated arms as US/Israeli defenses slowly get overwhelmed.
