According to some media reports, Iran successfully tested a new air-to-sea missile with a range of 110 km . However, the reports did not say when the test was conducted. As per the reports, defence specialists of Iran installed the missile on a fighter plane and launched it. The report also added that the high-precision weapon weighs about 500 kilos.

 

The latest test showed the Islamic republic's ability to automatically direct the missile and carry warheads to destroy large targets at sea, the report said. The news came just days after Mohammed Ali Jafari the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps said that, Tehran has missiles with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers that can reach nuclear facilities in its arch-foe Israel.

 

Jafari's comment came amid sustained speculation that Israel could target Iranian nuclear plants. However, defence analysts question the accuracy of Iran's longer-range missiles. It is widely believed that Israel is developing a nuclear arsenal at its Dimona facility in the Negev desert.
