Iran says it has developed a long-range cruise missile. “The cruise missile, with a range of 1,650 kilometers, has been added to the missile arsenal of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Amirali Hajizadeh, commander of the Revolutionary Guards Aerospace Forces, said on state television (video above).
Iranian television reportedly showed the first images of the new Paveh cruise missile, which is said to reach 13 times the speed of sound. Iran has expanded its missile program against opposition from the United States and concerns from European countries that it is purely defensive and used as a deterrent.
As late as November, Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency reported that Iran had built a supersonic ballistic missile. The United States was skeptical of the report at the time.
