Iran a Threat?

In Tehran, Iraq, they have created and tested a major missle that is capable of destroying large warships and submarines at high speeds under water. Gen. Ali Fadavi said that this missle is capable of travaling at 223 mph under water. If this is so, then it is 3 to 4 times faster then the world's fastest torpedo. Iran calls this the fastest under water missle, but apparently the Russian built VA-111 Shkval, made in 1995, travels as fast the Iranian missle. “It has a very powerful warhead designed to hit big submarines. Even if enemy warship sensors identify the missile, no warship can escape from this missile because of its high speed,” Fadavi told state-run television.
