( CNN ) -- Iran is lauding the successful test-firing of new missiles , including one designed to destroy `` all types of enemy military equipment , '' state media said . U.S. officials say they 're paying close attention . The Iranian Defense Ministry said the new missiles include a laser-guided surface-to-surface and air-to-surface missile as well as a new long-range ballistic missile that can carry multiple warheads , Iran 's semi-official Fars news agency reported . Iranian Defense Minister Brig . Gen. Hossein Dehqan said the long-range ballistic missile can evade enemies ' anti-missile defense systems and has `` the capability of destroying massive targets and destroying multiple targets . '' Pentagon spokesman Adm. John Kirby said the agency has seen the reports . `` Iran 's missile program continues to pose a dangerous threat to region , and is an issue we monitor closely , '' he said . Kirby noted that U.N. Security Council Resolution 1929 prohibits Iran from undertaking any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons , including launches using ballistic missile technology . Iran 's missiles testing comes just days after Iranian warships reportedly were en route toward U.S. maritime borders , according to Fars . `` Iran 's military fleet is approaching the United States ' maritime borders , and this move has a message , '' Iranian navy Adm. Afshin Rezayee Haddad said , according to Fars . The plan , Fars reported Saturday , serves as a response to the United States beefing up its naval presence in the Persian Gulf . The U.S. 5th Fleet is based in Bahrain . But a U.S. military official said there was no operational information to support the claim . The timing of Iran 's missile testing is notable for another reason : Fars said it happened on Monday , the eve of the 35th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution . The revolution signified the end of Iran 's Western-backed monarchy under Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi and the beginning of an Islamic republic . On Tuesday , Iranian President Hassan Rouhani delivered a speech celebrating the revolution -- and slamming the United States . `` The revolution started because people did n't want to accept humiliation , '' Rouhani told his country . `` Is it possible for the great revolutionary people , it is possible for this nation to accept humiliation by foreign powers or America after 35 years ? It is as if they have not recognized the great nation of Iran . They do n't have the right understanding and knowledge of the Iranian people . '' Iran 's navy aims to make PR splash with voyage . CNN 's Saad Abedine , Jim Sciutto , Barbara Starr and Hamdi Alkhshali contributed to this report .
