{{An Iranian semi-official news agency reports the country has fielded a “massive” number of new long-range missile launchers.}}
The Sunday report by Fars quotes Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi as saying the new weapons enable Iranian forces to “crush the enemy” with the mass simultaneous fire of long-range surface-to-surface missiles.
The report did not specify the type of missile that would be fired, nor more details on the number of launchers deployed.
Some of Iran’s surface-to-surface missiles are estimated to have ranges of over 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles), capable of hitting its arch-foe Israel and the U.S. bases in the region.
Vahidi did not specify who was the “enemy” and said Iran would never start a war.
From time to time Iran announces military achievements that cannot be independently verified.
