TEHRAN (AP): Iran has produced a new generation of short-range marine missiles and aerial drones, an official news agency has reported.

The report said the Ghadir missile, with a range of 100 kilometres, is designed to destroy marine targets. It did not give a range for the Nasr-e Basir cruise missile, but said it could "operate in silence," without elaborating.

Iran has unveiled two new drones, the high-altitude Karrar-4 and the Mohajer-4. The latter can be used to generate maps for both military and civilian purposes, the official news agency IRNA said on Sunday.

The report said President Hassan Rouhani attended a ceremony marking the inauguration.

Tehran regularly announces military advances that cannot be independently verified.

Iran launched a homegrown defence industry in 1992 that produces light and heavy weapons ranging from mortars to tanks and submarines.

It has surface-to-surface missiles with a range of about 2,000 kilometres, enough to reach Israel and US military bases in the region.
