Iran, which says its missile programme is purely defensive, has threatened to disrupt oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf if Washington tries to strangle Tehran’s oil exports.
"We have managed to make land-to-sea ballistic, not cruise, missiles that can hit any vessel or ship from 700km," Amirali Hajizadeh, the head of the Revolutionary Guards' airspace division, was quoted as saying by Fars news agency.
