The Iranian Revolutionary Guards said on Friday that its navy has new cruise missiles equipped with highly explosive warheads that are undetectable, state media reported.
The announcement by the country’s most powerful security organization coincides with fears of a full-blown Middle East war after Iran vowed to avenge the assassination in Tehran on July 31 of Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the Palestinian Islamist Hamas.
Iran has blamed Israel, while Israel has neither confirmed nor denied involvement.
“In today’s world you either have to be powerful to survive, or surrender. There’s no middle ground,” said the Guards’ top commander, Major-General Hossein Salami.
“A large number of cruise missiles have been added to the Guards’ navy fleet. These new missiles have capabilities of highly explosive warheads that are undetectable and can cause extensive damage and sink their targets,” a Guards statement said.
The Guards’ navy also said in a statement that various types of long and medium range missile systems, as well as reconnaissance drones and naval radars, have been added to its fleet.
据官方媒体报道，伊朗革命卫队周五表示，其海军拥有新型巡航导弹，配备了无法探测的高爆炸弹头。 伊朗最强大的安全组织宣布这一消息之际，正值伊朗发誓要为7月31日巴勒斯坦伊斯兰哈马斯领导人伊斯梅尔·哈尼亚在德黑兰被暗杀的事件报仇后，人们担心中东会爆发全面战争。 伊朗指责以色列，而以色列既没有证实也没有否认参与其中。 卫队最高指挥官侯赛因·萨拉米少将说，“在当今世界，你要么必须强大才能生存，要么投降。没有中间立场。”卫队一份声明称：“卫队海军舰队已增加了大量巡航导弹。这些新型导弹具有难以探测的高爆弹头能力，可以造成广泛的破坏并击沉目标。” 卫队海军还在一份声明中表示，其舰队中已增加了各种类型的远程和中程导弹系统以及无人侦察机和海军雷达。
