"TEHRAN - Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards successfully test-fired
Thursday a land-to-sea missile with a range of about 350 kilometres (210
miles), state television reported.

The firing came on the second day of war games by the Guards' air force and
naval divisions amid mounting tensions with the West over Iran's nuclear
programme.

"We have successfully test fired a cruise missile called SSN4, or
Raad, hitting targets 300 kilometres (180 miles) away in the Sea of Oman
and northern Indian Ocean," deputy air force commander, Ali Fadavi was
quoted as saying.

"This missile has the final range of 350 kilometres and can hit all
kinds of big warships in all of the Persian Gulf, Sea of Oman and northern
Indian Ocean.

"It can carry a 500 kilo (1,100 pounds) warhead and can fly at low
altitude, evading radar jammings and immune to electronic measures."

Iranian television showed footage of the missile being fired and hitting
its target."

I'll bet there is a truck mounted/container version.

Interesting wrt the current exercises how they are aimed at both sides of hormuz.
