'Our cruise missile with a range of 1,650 km has been added to the missile arsenal of the Islamic Republic of Iran,' Amirali Hajizadeh, Iran's head of the Revolutionary Guards aerospace force, says.
DUBAI, UAE – Iran has developed a cruise missile with a range of 1,650 kilometers a top Revolutionary Guards commander said on Friday, February 24, in a move likely to raise Western concerns after Russia’s use of Iranian drones in the Ukraine war.
Separately, Amirali Hajizadeh, the head of the Revolutionary Guards aerospace force, also spoke of Iran’s often repeated threat to avenge the US killing of a top Iranian commander, saying “We are looking to kill“Our cruise missile with a range of 1,650 km has been added to the missile arsenal of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Hajizadeh, told state TV.
Iranian leaders have often vowed to avenge Soleimani in strong terms. Iran has expanded its missile program, particularly its ballistic missiles, in defiance of opposition from the United States and expressions of concern by European countries. Tehran says the program is purely defensive and of a deterrent nature.
Iran has said it had supplied Moscow with drones before the war in Ukraine. Russia has used the drones to target power stations and civilian infrastructure. In November, the Pentagon said the United States was skeptical of reports quoting Hajizadeh as saying Iran had developed a hypersonic ballistic missile. –
