Iran Tested A New Torpedo

Iran starts a week of war games in the Gulf by testing a powerful torpedo on Monday and several missiles on Tuesday. Iran increased the tensions with the Western powers because of its suspected nuclear weapons program by firing the world's fastest underwater missile.

Officials said that the Fajr-3 missile was successfully tested, the weapon being able to avoid radar and hit several targets simultaneously using multiple warheads. The missile reaches a top speed of 360kph and carries a powerful warhead able to destroy large submarines.

"Even if enemy warship sensors identify the missile, no warship can escape from this missile because of its high speed," General Ali Fadavi, deputy head of Iran's navy, stated.

Iran previously tested a stealth missile last Friday, which has a range of 40km, can hit multiple targets and avoid radar. Western countries have been watching Iran's ballistic missile capabilities, fearing that Iran will built atomic bombs with the help of its uranium enrichment scheme.

The Iranian regime was given 30 days to stop any uranium enrichment activity, and the warning that it will suffer sanctions. The United States and Israel have declined several times to rule out military action against Iran if Tehran fails to resolve the nuclear dispute through diplomatic means.
