Iran unveils nuclear ready ballistic missile during military parade that can hit Israel
Iran has unveiled a ballistic missile reportedly capable of carrying nuclear warheads and with a sufficient range to reach Israel or U.S. military bases in the Gulf.
The Qadr H missile was put on display during military parades held in the capital Tehran this weekend to celebrate the 39th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The unveiling of the Qadr H and several other short-range missiles on Sunday was seen as a show of defiance of Western pressure on Iran to curb its ballistic missile programme.
The Qadr H 'can be launched from mobile platforms or silos in different positions and can escape missile defense shields due to their radar-evading capability,' FARS News Agency reports.
Experts speaking to U.S. website Free Beacon said the Qadr H is nuclear-capable and 'appears to share similarities with North Korean technology'.
