Iran claims launch of cruise missile from a submarine
Iran says it has launched a cruise missile from a submarine for the first time during an ongoing annual military drill in the Strait of Hormuz. The semi-official Fars news agency reported the launch on Sunday and released an image showing a green submarine on the surface of the water launching an orange missile. It says other submarines have the same capability. The Strait of Hormuz, at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, is a crucial bottleneck for global energy supplies, with about a third of all oil traded by sea passing through it.
DEBKAfile’s military sources note: The submarine from which the missile was launched was floating on the surface, not submerged. The Qadir-class sub cited in the Iranian communique is a dwarf vessel, which is hardly capable of carrying a large cruise missile and surviving the recoil of the blast.
While perhaps the Iranian Navy can launch a cruise missile from a surfaced submarine, both the U.S. and Israeli Navies can launch nuclear tipped Tomahawk cruise missiles from submerged submarines. Israel still retains the “Samson Option (Nuclear Ambiguity),” which raises the real possibility that Israeli nuclear retaliation could take out the cities of Tehran, Isfahan, Natanz and others, turning them into the next Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If the towel-headed Ayatollahs want to risk the lives of millions of Iranians for their Imperial ambitions at the risk of their civilian population, they will discover that the IDF Navy has a vicious bite that will severely injure them. Proceed with extreme caution!
Total nonsense , Israel will never use its nukes , since the radiation from such will kill all the population of adjacent countries, and in it will be Israeli population . Just think , that radiation from Dimona plant killed all the population of Dimona twice , but than nobody even talks about . All Negev became underground nukes American -Israeli facilities ; Nobody even writes that majority of Bedouins die from the sicknesses from those facilities .As far as Iran concerns it should be in peace pact with Israel , since the war with each other will maybe inglict damage on Iran , but sure will put an end to Israel , which will be sad.
as usual another arab/iranian troll. lying is ur religion. how can u be so stupid? just to write lies which can easily be checked.
The most dangerous Iranian Navy weapons are the Sirens, only one blow-job and the mariner is knocked up for 15 minutes minimum!
Iranian Mermaids are really painful, they steal away your pubic hair to fill up pillows and quilts for the Iranian submarine captains.
