TEHRAN : Ian's official IRNA news agency is quoting the chief of the elite Revolutionary Guards as saying that Iran has tested a new marine weapon.
The commander, Gen Mohammad Ali Jafari, claimed the new weapon for use at sea is "unique in the world" and has a range of 300 kilometres.
The report provided no further details and didn't say when or where the weapon was tested. But it also quoted Jafari as saying there is "no similar weapon in the service of armies in the world."
In July, the Guards test fired missiles and torpedoes in the Persian Gulf, and Tehran claimed it tested a new Shahab missile with a range of 2,012 kilometres.
The alleged new weapon's range indicates it may be some type of torpedo.
