Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency reports that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps navy has new cruise missiles equipped with highly explosive warheads that are undetectable.
“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,” Tasnim claims.
