Iran on Wednesday unveiled a new missile with a range of 1,450 kilometers (900.9 miles), Tasnim reported.

According to Mehr, the Kheibar-Shekan missile was displayed to Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Chief of Staff of Iranian Armed Forces Major-General Mohammad Bagheri and IRGC Commander of the Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh.

Mehr noted that the missile was "designed and built by scientists of the Air Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps."

Tasnim added that the "strategic weapon is a third-generation long-range missile" which is "propelled by solid fuel and is capable of penetrating missile shields with high maneuverability."

The missile weighs one-third less than similar missiles, and preparation time before launch has been reduced to one-sixth of the usual requirement, Tasnim said.

On Tuesday, Iran and word powers resumed talks to renew a nuclear agreement, after officials signaled an agreement was "in sight."
