You don't understand: iran could sink US Destroyer class warships with their hypersonic missiles, but it would take a handful to get a lucks shot to cause massive internal damage to multiple isolated compartments for it to sink.
This missile is designed to penetrate ship hulls and explode and burn everything inside.
It's more effective than standard hypersonic for killing ships and as a psychological deterrent.
Being able to killing 300 - 500 US sailors and sink a Destroyer class with one missile is a powerful psychological weapon to keep the US military outside of iranian missile range, this giving iran plenty of notice about incoming bombers, missiles and ships.
