“The solid propellant Ghassem Basir ballistic missile has a range of at least 1,200 kilometres and is Iran’s latest defence achievement,“ the broadcaster said.
Iran supports the “axis of resistance” network of militant groups opposed to Israel, including Yemen’s Huthi rebels, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Shiite armed groups in Iraq.
Israel struck military sites in Iran in response to an Iranian missile attack on October 1, itself launched in retaliation for the killing of Iran-backed militant leaders and a Revolutionary Guards commander.
“If we are attacked and war is waged against us, we will respond with force and will target their interests and their bases,“ Nasirzadeh said.
The new missile was shown after Tehran and Washington held Oman-mediated talks on Iran’s nuclear programme on three consecutive Saturdays from April 12.
On Thursday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in an interview with Fox News called on Iran to “walk away” from uranium enrichment, saying “the only countries in the world that enrich uranium are the ones that have nuclear weapons”.
Tehran denies seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, insisting that its nuclear ambitions are entirely peaceful and for civilian purposes.
US President Donald Trump has threatened to attack Iran if diplomacy fails and has imposed additional sanctions targeting the country’s oil sector.
