Iran is adding new anti-ship cruise missiles to its coastal defense arsenal, presumably to counter possible military action against its suspected nuclear weapons program.
Iran's navy has officially received new coastal-based anti-ship cruise missiles.
A handover ceremony for the missile systems was attended by Commander of the Iranian army's navy Rear Adm. Habibollah Sayyari and Iranian Defense Minister Brig. Gen. Ahmad Vahidi, the Fars News Agency reported Monday.
Vahidi said, "These sites have been developed in three forms, including light sites, independent sites and extensive sites that include target detection, missile launch pads, radar guidance systems," adding that the systems' deployment along Iran's coastline will allow Iran to identify, detect and destroy multiple targets via a single integrated command and control center.
