Iranian Defence Minister Ahmad Vahidi said the third-generation missile was a single-stage solid propellant missile that could travel between 150km-200km (90-125 miles).
“This version works on solid fuel, so compared with previous generations it has increased range and accuracy. Its preparation as well as launching systems are speedier,” he said.
“This missile, which is in the short-range class, has added new features to the country’s missile system,” he added.
Iran is celebrating its annual government week, during which it showcases its latest achievements in various fields, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).
