In the framework of the ongoing exercise in the Persian Gulf, Iran fired three new types of missiles for the Navy yesterday, with a longer range of missiles being equipped on its ships.

Three new types of missiles, named Noor, Kowsar and Nasr, have a range of about 170 km, more than 50 km far from the navy's existing missiles. Admiral Sardar Fadavi, deputy commander of the Iranian navy, said the event proved the strength of the army " improved with domestic technology ".

This is the second day to witness the Iranian army firing a large number of missiles of all kinds. The event took place just days after the US-led multinational naval exercise in the Gulf, coinciding with the time when the United Nations was discussing sanctions against Tehran for ignoring the deadline. stop uranium enrichment.

Admiral Fadavi mentioned the six-nation naval exercise when commenting on Iranian radio: " Our enemies should not bring hostility to the Gulf. They should not initiate any action. Which could make the area tense ".
