Israel Matzav: Iran launches its first destroyer

Iran launches its first destroyer

Iranian television reported on Friday that Iran's first home-built destroyer was launched in the Arabian Gulf at a ceremony attended by Ayatollah Ali Khameni.

"The first domestically made destroyer Jamaran was launched this morning and joined Iran's naval forces in the southern waters of the Persian Gulf," state television IRIB reported. It did not give the location of the launch.

The report showed footage of the warship and said it was equipped with torpedoes and electronic radar. The ship is 94 meters long and more than 1,500 tons, it said. Much of Iran's naval equipment dates from before the 1979 Islamic revolution and is U.S.-made.

What could go wrong?
