Iran Says Starts Making New Anti-Aircraft Missile
Iran has started production of a new ground-to-air missile system, Iranian media have reported, amid persistent speculation that Israel might attack the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities.
"The range of this defense system [missile] is more than 40 kilometers and it is able to pursue and hit the enemy's airplanes and helicopters on a smart basis and at supersonic speed," Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said, without specifying how the missile compared to previous such weapons.
Najjar was quoted by Iran's Fars News Agency three days after Israel issued contradictory signals on whether it might bomb Iran, with its foreign minister saying there were no such plans and the defense minister saying all options were open.
