Iran has developed a long-range cruise missile, with a range of 1,650 kilometers. This was stated by the Aerospace Command of the Revolutionary Guards, whose commander, Amirali Hajizadeh, issued a warning to the Europeans and Americans, invited "not to test Iran". "Now we are able to hit US aircraft carriers even 2,000 kilometers away," Hajizadeh was quoted as saying by Iranian state TV.

The new cruise missile, said the senior officer of the Pasdaran, is called 'Paveh'. "Iran will soon unveil its hypersonic missiles capable of reaching speeds of Mach 12 and 13," which is 12 or 13 times the speed of sound. "American military bases in the region (...) They are now under monitoring and we can hit them at any time if necessary. They are like flesh under our teeth," Hajizadeh was quoted as saying by Iranian TV.
Iran, the subject of European sanctions, is causing concern among Western powers who accuse it of supplying Russia with kamikaze drones and missiles, helping it in its invasion of Ukraine. The European Parliament recently included the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (Pasdaran) on its list of terrorist organisations.
