Iran's Claim it Test-Fired Anti-Warship Missiles Brings New Concerns, Questions

[Gerald]

Iran test-fired what it calls a supersonic ballistic surface-to-sea missile today in a dramatic ceremony that saw the missile crash into a ship that went up in smoke.

It’s being called anti-destroyer, anti-warship and radar evading, with a range of 300 kilometers, or 186 miles.

Brig. Gen. Ali Jafari, Commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, described the new hardware.

“These missiles are ultrasonic and can never be detected and intercepted by the enemies. The result of these defense projects is a very long leap in maintaining the security of the country in the sky and in the sea.”

This, just a day after the chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warned they would close the Strait of Hormuz if Iran were to be threatened.
