Iran tests missile it says can hit US ships in Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman
The Ghadr-380 has a range of over 1,000km and anti-jamming capabilities, and can be launched from an underground base
“This is a Ghadr-380 mile type L. It has over 1,000km range. It has anti-jamming capability,” said General Ali Reza Tangsiri, the head of the navy of the Revolutionary Guard, in a report that showed an underground missile facility on the southern coast of Iran.
The report elaborated neither on warhead that the missile carried, nor the time of the test.
Tangsiri said the facility is “only one part of the missile systems of the Guard”, adding that the missiles can create “a hell for the enemy’s warships”.
The report said the new weapon was a “sophisticated missile”, without elaborating, which could be launched from the underground facility. The missile was launched from central Iran into the Sea of Oman, it said.
It said the missile can be made ready and launched by one member of personnel in less than five minutes.
