The new Nasir missile was successfully test-fired during the naval drill, Iran’s defense minister, Brigadier General Hossein Dehghan said.
He did not unveil any details about the missile, ILNA reported.
The Iranian naval forces started large-scale war games, codenamed Velayat-e 95, on Feb. 26 in the north of the Indian Ocean, Oman Sea, Gulf of Aden and the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb.
Last January, the country’s navy held the Velayat-e 94 drills across a large swath of territorial waters and high seas in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Indian Ocean.
