Iran said that it has developed a new 900-kilogram (2,000-pound) smart bomb and that it will start industrial-scale production of the bomb on Sunday.

Given the successful flight of the Iran-made Azarakhsh fighter jet, the second generation of this fighter, called Saeqeh (Thunder blot) will soon start flying across the Iranian sky, Defense Minister Brigadier General Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said.

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki voiced Tehran’s preparedness to provide facilities for foreign investors willing to conduct activity in the Iranian tourism sector.
