Iran Tested New Anti-Ship Missile Over U.S. Warship (https://southfront.press/iran-tested-new-anti-ship-missile-over-u-s-warship/) A top Iranian security official revealed that Iran successfully tested a new anti-ship missile directly over a United States Navy warship, claiming the incident forced American forces to retreat. Maj. Gen. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, told state TV on September 6 that the weapons test took place just 48 hours prior to his announcement, framing it as a direct warning that the American naval blockade in the region is vulnerable. The Islamic Republic already produces a wide array of anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles, with ranges up to over 1,000 kilometers. The latest Iranian announcement came just a few days after the Financial Times reported that Russia has been helping Iran develop supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, which are extremely difficult to intercept.
