IRGC-ASF claims greater accuracy for IRGC-N ASBM

 From Fars News Agency:
"Iranian experts at the IRGC Aerospace research center have increased the precision capability of the 'Persian Gulf' supersonic ballistic missile to 8.5 meters."
"The supersonic projectile, which carries a 650-kilogram payload, is smart and immune to interception, and features high-precision systems."
"The Persian Gulf supersonic ballistic missile is the most advanced and most important missile of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy."
"The range of the solid-fuel missile is 300km and it can be fired from triple launchers."
The greater accuracy claims made by IRGC-ASF Commander Hajizadeh are for a hit scored by an updated IRGC-N "Khalij-e Fars" ASBM on a moving naval target.
