Iran tests weapons near Strait of Hormuz

Written By Unknown on Senin, 31 Desember 2012 | 19.50

IRAN'S navy says it has test-fired a range of weapons during ongoing manoeuvres near the Strait of Hormuz, the passageway for one-fifth of the world's oil supply.

The Monday report by the official IRNA news agency quotes exercise spokesman Admiral Amir Rastgari as saying the Iranian-made air defence system Raad, or Thunder, was among the weapons tested.

Iran says the system fires missiles with a range of 50km, capable of hitting targets at 22,000m.

He said torpedoes and underwater and surface-to-surface rockets were also successfully tested.

The drill began Friday and ends Wednesday. It's one of a number of exercises Iran holds annually.

Iran has in the past said it might close the strait over Western sanctions, but has not made such threats recently.
