Hell, why not both man lol.
Because it doesn’t work. Why would you want to build something that countries already attempted and failed 80 years ago Saddam also did this route.
US also attempted a high tech version of this and decided against it. Best route would be to build supersonic shells for existing Navy cannons like US is doing. But Iran lacks a modern Navy for such a cannon anyway. Anything on land is a sitting duck to swarm attacks. Not viable.
The U.S. Navy’s $500 million electromagnetic railgun—capable of slinging projectiles at hypersonic speeds—lacks funding and has no coherent plan to deploy on warships. The Navy is instead pursuing an offshoot of the railgun, a hypervelocity projectile it can fire from existing gun systems

My route is the best, supersonic glide bomber drones are very hard to intercept and can reach any point in the Middle East within the hour. Be preprogrammed. And drop heavy payloads.
It would be the most important and game changing Iranian weapon design in the history of the republic. But would effectively remove the need for an Air Force outside of Interceptors for defending the country airspace.
