TEHRAN – Criticizing lack of military technology during the Shah’s rule prior to the 1979 revolution, a top military official said on Wednesday that the Islamic Republic plans to extend the range of its land-to-sea missiles beyond 300 kilometers.

According to Fars news agency, Rear Admiral Mahmoud Mousavi also said the Navy’s active presence in the Persian Gulf, Caspian Sea and open seas is another achievement of the Islamic Revolution and this shows the potential and military power of the Army.
