Tehran Tests Missile That Evades Radar

TEHRAN, 28 August 2006 — Iran test-fired a long-range, radar-evading missile yesterday from a submarine in the Gulf as part of war games that began earlier this month, state television reported.

The missile was called Sagheb, which means piercing, but the report did not give the missile’s range.

“Minutes ago it was launched from a submarine in the Gulf and it hit the target,” television reported. Western nations have been watching developments in Iran’s missile capabilities with concern amid a standoff over the country’s nuclear program, which the West says is aimed at building atomic bombs. Iran says the program is only civilian.

Iran’s military also held war games in the Gulf in April. Those exercises were interpreted by analysts as a thinly veiled threat that Iran could disrupt vital oil shipping lanes if pushed by an escalation in the nuclear dispute. A navy admiral, named only as Kouchaki, told state television the missile had been designed and produced in Iran. “It can be installed and launched by Iran’s Navy. It is a long-range missile, with a very high speed and destructive power. It is also radar evading,” he said.

The Islamic Republic has three aging Kilo class diesel-electric Russian submarines and also builds midget submarines. The Sagheb is listed as an air defense missile by the Nuclear Threat Initiative website (www.nti.org).

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "JERUSALEM – Hezbollah, with the help of Iran, has started building underground war bunkers in Palestinian camps in south Lebanon just a few miles from the Israeli border, according to senior Lebanese officials.

During its 34-day confrontation with Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel destroyed scores of complex Hezbollah bunkers that snaked along the Lebanese side of the Israel-Lebanon border. Military officials said they were surprised by the scale of the Hezbollah bunkers, in which Israeli troops reportedly found war rooms with advanced eavesdropping and surveillance equipment they noted were made by Iran.

A senior Lebanese official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told WND Hezbollah has started building a new set of bunker system, this time in Palestinian refugee camps.

"The Lebanese Army doesn't have the authority to patrol inside the camps," said the official. "Hezbollah knows it is safe there to rebuild their war bunkers, and they began doing so with Iranian help."

A second Lebanese official confirmed the information."
