Iran vows to use 2,000lb smart bomb against ‘enemies’

IRAN vowed yesterday to use a new 2,000lb “smart” bomb against its enemies and unveiled mass production of the new weapon, state television reported.

Tehran announced development of the long-range guided bomb on Thursday, saying that it could be deployed by the country’s aging US-made F-4 and F-5 fighter jets.

“We will use these (bombs) against our enemies when the time comes,” Defence Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said on state television yesterday.
