IRAN has developed a 900kg "smart bomb", official media quoted a Defence Ministry statement in the latest announcement from Tehran about progress regarding military hardware.
The guided bomb, named "Qased" ("Messenger"), was developed by specialists within the ministry and is now operational, IRNA news agency said, adding it could be dropped from F-4 and F-5 jets.
Although much of Iran's weaponry is outmoded, analysts say Iran has become proficient at modifying such arms.
Defence Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said last year Iran had designed the Qased bomb but that it had yet to be tested.
