Sophisticated domestically-made cruise missiles have been delivered to Iran’s navy, state media reported Sunday.

The arrival comes amid growing regional tension between Tehran and Iran-backed militant groups on one side, and Israel and its Western allies over the Israel-Hamas conflict.

What do we know about the new Russian missiles?

State media said the Talaeiyeh cruise missile has a range of over 1,000 kilometers (621 miles).

Local media cited the head of Iran’s navy Admiral Shahran Irani as saying the weapon is “a smart missile that can change targets mid-mission.”

He  said the missiles were designed by Iran’s own military sector.

The admiral also said the other deliveries to the Navy included reconnaissance helicopters, drones and marine cruise missiles that can be launched from warships.

The missiles were delivered to a naval base in the southern Iranian port of Konarak, southeast of the capital, Tehran.

Iran says it has a stock of various kinds of missiles with ranges up to 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles), capable of reaching its archenemy Israel and US bases in the region.

But Tehran has been known to exaggerate its military capabilities and the new equipment cannot be independently verified.

  • June 4, 2024
