In a strategic display of military strength, Iran conducted a successful test-firing of an anti-warship cruise missile with a remarkable range of 1,000 kilometers, capable of targeting US Navy ships in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.

According to Gen. Ali Reza Tangsiri, head of the Revolutionary Guard's navy, the missile, known as the Ghadr-380 L, boasts anti-jamming technology and is part of a sophisticated arsenal stored in underground facilities along Iran's southern coast.

This missile test comes as tensions continue in the Middle East, with Iran emphasizing its ability to defend against potential threats as demonstrated in recent conflicts with Israel and its allies.
