Tehran: A long-range drone named Shahed 129 has been unveiled by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on Tuesday which can reach most of the Middle East countries, including Israel.
The drone can go 2,000 km and can carry bombs and missiles, state television said.
Israel has already threatened to strike Iran’s nuclear sites and there is a possibility of a military action before presidential election in the United States in November.
Israel has been critical of US President Barack Obama’s position that international sanctions on Iran and diplomacy should be given more time to stop Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons, saying its atomic activity is peaceful, aimed at generating electricity.
The head of the Revolutionary Guards’ aerospace arm Amir Ali Hajizadeh was quoted on Sunday as saying Iran might launch a pre-emptive strike on Israel if it was sure the Jewish state was about to attack.
