Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi said an unspecified number of the missiles, called "Ghader," or "Capable" in Farsi, were delivered to the Iranian military and the powerful Revolutionary Guard's naval division, which is assigned to protect Iran's sea borders. Vahidi said the missile, which has a range of 200 kilometers, can travel at low altitudes and "can sink giant warships."
