TEHRAN, April 2--Iran on Sunday successfully tested its fastest underwater missile in the “Holy Prophet War Games“ northwest of Persian Gulf. Deputy commander of the Islamic Revolution’s Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy, General Ali Fadavi, told Central News Bureau that the domestically-made missile, called ’Hut’, hit its target at a maximum speed of 100 meters per second, IRNA reported. The joint naval war games of the Islamic Revolution’s Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Army are being held successfully over an area of 100,000 square miles, Rear Admiral Mohammad Ebrahim Dehqani told IRNA on Saturday. Dehqani added that the military bases of Saheb-az-Zaman in the Strait of Hormuz, Moharram in the Persian Gulf (Bushehr province’s shores) and Imam Hussein (AS) in Mahshahr Port planted advanced locally-made mines in Iranian waters. “Other phases on this day included scuba-diving operations for detecting the hypothetical enemy’s underwater moves and clearing chemical contaminations. Different water and underwater units of the aerial forces of IRGC and the Army carried out security operations for commercial, oil and fishing vessels sailing in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman waters,“ he said. The rear admiral further said the naval forces are working on securing the shores of southern Iranian waters. “The command of the maneuvers is being handled by Nouh Nabi military bases and tactical military bases in northern and central Persian Gulf as well as the Strait of Hormuz and Chabahar,“ he said. Dehqani noted that the military exercise, which started on Friday, will end on Thursday.
