State TV said both Talaeieh and Nasir cruise missiles have arrived at a naval base near the Indian Ocean.

Iran’s navy on Sunday added domestically produced sophisticated cruise missiles to its arsenal, state TV reported.

The TV said both Talaeieh and Nasir cruise missiles have arrived at a naval base near the Indian Ocean in the southern Iranian port of Konarak, some 1,400 kilometers (850 miles) southeast of the capital, Tehran.

Navy chief Adm. Shahram Irani said the Talaeieh has a range of more than 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) and called it “fully smart.” Irani said the cruise missile is capable of changing targets during travel.

He said the Nasi has a range of 100 kilometers (62 miles) and can be installed on warships.

    Then Saudi will get nukes. The middle East will be flush with nukes and that powder keg is just waiting for a match. Then what do we have? Irradiated oil! A permanent gas price increase. On the plus side, the whole world will go on an economic slide, but electric cars will sell.

      But then they don’t get to feel morally righteous without thinking about any of the ramifications!
