Iran test-fires anti-warship cruise missile with a range of more than 600 miles

Associated Press  

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran test-fired an anti-warship cruise missile with a range of 1,000 kilometers capable of reaching U.S. Navy ships in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman, state TV reported on Saturday. It has anti-jamming capability,” said Gen. Ali Reza Tangsiri, the head of the navy of the Revolutionary Guard, in a report that showed an underground missile facility on the southern coast of Iran. Tangsiri said the facility is “only one part of the missile systems of the Guard,” adding that the missiles can create “a hell for the enemy’s warships.” The report said the new weapon was a “sophisticated missile,” without elaborating, which could be launched from the underground facility. Following Iraq’s bloody 1980s eight-year war against Iran, when both countries fired missiles at cities, Iran developed its ballistic missile program as a deterrent, especially as a U.N. arms embargo prevents it from buying high-tech weapons systems.
