| [IsraelTimes] Iran test-fired an anti-warship cruise missile with a range of 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) capable of reaching US Navy ships in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman, Iranian state TV reports. “This is a Ghadr-380 mile type L. It has over 1,000 kilometers range. It has anti-jamming capability,” said Gen. Ali Reza Tangsiri, the head of the navy of the Revolutionary Guard, in a report that shows an underground missile facility on the southern coast of Iran. The report elaborates neither on the warhead that the missile carried, nor the time of the test. Tangsiri said the facility is “only one part of the missile systems of the Guard,” adding that the missiles can create “a hell for the enemy’s warships.” The report says the new weapon was a “sophisticated missile,” without elaborating, which could be launched from the underground facility. The missile was launched from central Iran into the Sea of Oman, it says. It claims the missile can be made ready and launched by one member of personnel in less than five minutes. Since 2011 Iran has occasionally announced the inauguration of underground missile facilities along with missile tests. It has boasted of underground facilities across the country as well as along the southern coast near the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Iran claims to have missiles that can travel 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles), placing much of the Middle East, including Israel, within range. |

| #10 Didn’t the Obama Administration make the KSA back off of the Houthi? Sounds like a policy that is due for review. |

| #7 How to Speak Persians It has over 1,000 kilometers range It goes really far but has a CEP the size of North Africa. We will be lucky to hit the ocean. It has anti-jamming capability In the sense of having nothing to jam because the missile has no guidance. It flies to its target by the Will of Alan(bees pee upon him). the new weapon was a “sophisticated missile We finally got it working, praise be to Alan(more bees). the missile can be made ready and launched by one member of personnel in less than five minutes It is a solid fuel missle which means it is ready to go. There is only one button so it can be launched by any monkey with a thumb. |

| #1 The missile was launched from central Iran into the Sea of Oman, it says. So it hit the water? No dummy targets for these dummys. Did the sats monitor the launch point? |
