Pentagon: Iran Fielding Anti-Ship Ballistic Missiles
(IHS Jane's Defence Weekly) Jeremy Binnie, London and Daniel Wasserbly - Iran's Khalij Fars anti-ship ballistic missile (AShBM) - a weapon that could shift the military balance in the Gulf region - is being delivered to operational units, according to the U.S. Department of Defense. "This ballistic missile has a range of 300 km, which means it is capable of threatening maritime activity throughout the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz," said Vice Admiral James Syring, director of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency.
