Iran unveils long-range unmanned bomber

Karrar

Iran unveiled Karrar, a long range unmanned bomber on Sunday as an addition to its military advances.

Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called the weapon “messenger of glory and salvation for humanity” but an “ambassador of death” for Iran’s enemy, in a ceremony to mark the country’s Defense Industry Day.

According to the reports of the media owned by the stae, the “destroyer” as its name means, can carry up to four cruise missiles and has a range of 620 miles.

The announcement was made a day after a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Iran’s first nuclear plant. Iran always stated that their nuclear program is not meant to harm other countries or states. However, Israel and other Arab and western nations expressed deep concerns the possibility of Iran making bombs using its nuclear.

The unmanned bomber is the third military aircraft announced this year. Iran also unveiled new submarines, long range missiles, and showed plans to launce high-altitude satellites. Israel and the United States both said that they would not rule out an airstrike to stop Iran from building a nuclear bomb.

Iran held the unveiling ceremony at Malek-Ashtar University of Technology, which American Intelligence community suspects to have links with the controversial Revolutionary Guard; which is a branch of Iran’s military. President Ahmadinejad used provocative language to call on Western powers to engage Iran in dialogue.

“They tell us all options are on the table. We also say to them, all options are on the table,” he said in comments broadcast on state television. “The first option is for you to come down from your tower of pride and sit like polite children and talk.”

“Come down,” he repeated. “If you do not, the hands of the peoples of the world will bring you down.”
