Iran's navy has test-fired the latest versions of the Nasr and Dehlaviyeh missiles during military exercises in the Gulf, local media reported on Monday.
“The latest naval cruise missile called Nasr was test-fired during Velayat 95 naval manoeuvres in the southern waters of the country,” said Defence Minister Hossein Dehghan, according to the Fars news agency, adding that the missile had successfully hit its target.
Tasnim news agency said the Dehlaviyeh, a laser-guided missile, had also been successfully tested.
It was reported back in 2012 that Iran had based the Dehlaviyeh on a Russian anti-tank missile.
The ranges of the latest versions were not given.

Although a very good development in self defence but, the world needs humanity and promotion of mutual respect and goodwill between the nations. United Nation has failed to perform its founding duties.

Iran is probably an only Muslim nation openly defying the US. All other muslim nations have become slaves to the american dollar and policies. But, after its oil reserves deplete it also will lose its prominence .Hence all the muslim states must become open-minded and not preach secularism only to other countries but also to themselves. You preach secularism to US but you yourselves are un-secular.
These missiles don't threten the US, they just irritate them. Remember that!!!

'It was reported back in 2012 that Iran had based the Dehlaviyeh on a Russian anti-tank missile.'
As per the Western experts, that Russia missile is 9M133, variously known as; Kornet, AT-14 or Spriggan, first deployed by Russia in 1998. The Laser guidance is new for the Iranian missile.
