原文：

Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard announced on April 20, 2020 that it has significantly upgraded the range of its anti-warship missiles. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps currently possesses surface-to-surface and subsurface anti-warship missiles with a range as high as 430 miles, according to its top naval officer, ADM Alireza Tangsiri.

In last September, Iranian officials said the country's most advanced anti-warship missiles had a range of about 180 miles. Iran periodically announces major advances in its weapons capabilities that cannot be verified independently. Its armed forces are believed to have surface-to-surface missiles with a range of 1,250 miles that can reach Israel and U.S. bases in the Mideast.

伊朗革命衛隊於2020年4月20日宣布，已大幅提升反艦飛彈射程。據該衛隊海軍司令湯西里上將表示，伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊目前擁有地對地及潛射反艦飛彈，射程最遠可達430英里（約692公里）。

去年9月，伊朗官員表示該國最先進的反艦飛彈，射程約為180英里（約289.6公里）。對於伊朗定期宣布其武器能力的重大進步，尚無法獲得第三方獨立證實。據信，伊朗武裝部隊擁有射程達1250英里（約2011.7公里）的地對地飛彈，範圍可涵蓋以色列與美國在中東地區的基地。
