I looked this up because I didn’t know anything about it I apologize for some Grok data I’m about to post but it’s the easiest way to look up stuff. It appears they are getting prepared to use them against Iran, but after researching the capabilities of the weapon it doesn’t seem to have very good penetration ability like bunker busters. What it seems to be good at is very long range attacks at Mach 5 speed and it moves in an erratic way at very low altitude making it almost impossible to intercept. Here is the Grok info you probably already know but sharing it incase someone else is interested.

• Request details: CENTCOM submitted Request for Forces to deploy Army’s long-range hypersonic weapon to Middle East for possible use against Iran.
• Justification: Iran relocated ballistic-missile launchers/TELs beyond PrSM range (>300 miles / 483 km). LRHW’s 1,725+ mile range enables strikes on these deep inland, time-sensitive targets.
