An Iranian university student has developed a mobile app to teach Iranians about the country’s arsenal of missiles, Fars News reported Sunday.
Arshia Badi said the app, which he titled “Israel’s Nightmare,” would introduce ordinary people to the Islamic republic’s missile capabilities, with illustrations and technical specifications.
“This android application can be accessed free of charge and I do not seek any financial gains by designing this software,” Badi said.
In October Iran announced that it had successfully tested a new domestically produced long-range missile, “Imad,” which it said was the first that could be guided all the way to targets. In August Tehran unveiled a new Fateh-313 missile with a 500-kilometer (310 miles) range.
Tehran has said that its ballistic missile program is not connected to the UN Security Council resolution endorsing the July 14 accord with world powers that limits its nuclear program. Under the terms of the agreement, Iran is barred from developing ballistic missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
Iran says it has ballistic missiles with a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles), which are capable of striking both Israel and Saudi Arabia. But the Foreign Ministry said that the UN’s resolution endorsing the deal did not have jurisdiction over its missile development.
“Iran’s military capacities, especially ballistic missiles, are strictly defensive and, as they have not been conceived to carry nuclear weapons, they are outside the scope and competence of the Security Council resolution,” the ministry said in a statement in October.
