IRAN showed off new missile and satellite technology yesterday, and told its enemies it had "complete domination" of the entrance to the oil-rich Gulf.
As part of Iran's annual revolution celebrations, a time traditionally marked by new technological and military advances, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad unveiled locally-made satellites while a senior commander showed off mass-produced missiles.
"We should reach a point where we will be able to provide our knowledge and technology in the aerospace field to other countries," Ahmadinejad said in a speech.
The chief commander of the Revolutionary Guards, Mohammad Ali Jafari, said the new missile would be able to target enemies at sea.
Another Guards commander, Ali Fadavi, reiterated Iran's threat to close the Strait of Hormuz, through which 40 percent of the world's sea-borne oil passes.
"The Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz are under the complete domination of the Revolutionary Guards ... and it would be blocked in case of a threat," he said.
