Tehran:
Iran revealed a new ballistic missile on Sunday that said he was able to travel 1,700 kilometers, presenting him at a Tehran ceremony attended by President Masoud Fishkian.
The missile state television broadcast images, called Etemad, or “trust” in Persa, saying that it had a maximum range of 1,700 kilometers (1,056 miles) and was “the most recent ballistic missile” built by the Ministry of Defense Iran.
Western countries have been concerned with the advances in Iran’s ballistic missile program, accusing it to destabilize the Middle East.
Iran’s missiles, including this newer design, are able to reach their arch-foe Israel, which pointed twice last year as Gaza’s war spilled.
“The development of defense capacities and spatial technologies … aims to ensure that no country dares to attack the Iranian territory,” said fishshkian in a televised direction.
The ceremony took place on the National Aerospace Day of Iran and a few days before the 46th anniversary of the creation of the Islamic Republic on February 10, 1979.
Since the return of the US president, Donald Trump, who followed a “maximum pressure” approach to Iran in his first term, Tehran has made multiple force shows, including large -scale military exercises and the presentation of underground military bases.
At the same time, Tehran has indicated its willingness to restart negotiations on its nuclear program, which has been targeting with Western countries for decades.
Iran, who once obtained most of his military teams from his then United States, has been forced to develop his own weapons since Washington cut ties and imposed sanctions following the Islamic Revolution of 1979.
Having been under an embargo on arms during a devastating war with Iraq between 1980 and 1988, Iran now has a substantial weapons developed nationwide, including missiles, air defense systems and drones.
