It said other submarines have the same capability. It did not provide details on the missile&#8217;s range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">State TV showed a video of the launch in which a missile fired from a submarine hit a pre-determined target. Adm. Hamzeh Ali Kaviani, spokesman for the drills, said &#8220;by achieving various types of sub-surface missile and torpedoes, we have completed our chain of defensive power under water.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/flashpoints\/2018\/11\/29\/iran-adds-2-mini-submarines-to-naval-fleet\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18333459505402.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Iran adds 2 mini submarines to naval fleet<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Iran\u2019s navy has acquired two new mini submarines designed for operations in shallow waters such as the Persian Gulf, the Iranian state TV reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also on Sunday, the chief of the Revolutionary Guard&#8217;s aerospace division, Gen. Amirali Hajizadeh said that enemies of Iran have failed to sabotage the country&#8217;s missile program. &#8220;They were trying to carry out sabotage in part by exploding missiles in the air, but they failed to do anything since we had predicted and secured,&#8221; the program, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iranian media said the missile was an upgraded version of the Nasr-1 missile the country had showcased in 2008. It was then described as an anti-vessel missile with a range of35 kilometers (or 22 miles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran frequently touts its military arsenal, much of which is manufactured locally because of international sanctions. The Strait of Hormuz, at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, is a crucial bottleneck for global energy supplies, with about a third of all oil traded by sea passing through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2019\/01\/07\/iranian-navy-vows-to-sail-into-americas-backyard\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Sahand3.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Iranian navy vows to sail into America\u2019s backyard<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">One of Iran&#039;s top naval officers says Tehran will send a &quot;flotilla&quot; on a cruise to the Western Atlantic.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2018\/09\/29\/iran-releases-video-alleging-encounter-with-american-carrier\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tensions have risen<\/a> since the U.S. withdrew from Iran\u2019s 2015 nuclear agreement with world powers last year and restored wide-ranging sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. is wary over Iran\u2019s missile program that can target <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2018\/11\/07\/us-will-push-back-at-iran-activities-in-region-says-us-envoy-to-syria\/\" target=_blank>U.S. regional bases <\/a>as well as Iran\u2019s archenemy Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Submarines, warships, helicopters and surveillance planes participated in the three-day drill, dubbed \u201cVelayat-97,\u201d which concludes later Sunday.
