Iran has showcased a new weapon at a military parade in memory of Iraq's invasion of the country in 1980.
According to state TV, it is a ballistic missile called Jihad, manufactured by the powerful Revolutionary Guard's space division, with a range of 100 miles. This means it can reach Israel, since the two arch-rivals are approximately 100 miles apart at their closest point.
The news agency AP writes that Jihad appears to be a more advanced version of the latest Qiam missile, which was presented in 2021 and was reported to have a range of around 80 miles.
Iran often presents new technical achievements for its armed forces. The US, on the other hand, has warned that such activities may violate a resolution in the UN Security Council, which urges Iran not to engage in any activity related to ballistic missiles that could carry nuclear weapons.
