Iran Will Help Lebanon with Air Defenses
Tehran has officially confirmed its intentions of supplying the Lebanese Army with modern antiaircraft missiles. Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Mohammad-Reza Sheibani announced that his country would supply Lebanon with the missiles after he met with Lebanese Army Gen. Michel Suleiman.
At present, Lebanon has only outdated artillery that poses no threat to modern military aircraft.
Iran successfully tested two new types of guided missile, one antitank missile and one antiaircraft missile, on Saturday. That country is now conducting Great Prophet 2 military exercises in the south of the country. The ten-day maneuvers involve infantry, the air force and the navy. Long-range ballistic missiles, anti-ship missiles and hi-tech aviation bombs have also been tested during the exercises.
The first Great Prophet exercises were held in March and April of this year.
