TEHRAN – Iran has vowed to use a 2,000lb (900kg) “smart” bomb against its enemies and announced mass production of the new weapon, according to state television.

Tehran first announced on Thursday that it was developing the long-range guided bomb, for possible delivery by its ageing US-made F4 and F5 jets. Yesterday Mostafa Muhammad Najjar, the Defence Minister, said on state television: “We will use these [bombs] against our enemies when the time comes.”

He continued his threats as footage showed him unveiling a production line for the weapon in Tehran.
