Iran to test long-range missiles
IRAN will test-fire its long-range Shahab 3 missile tomorrow as part of continuing missile manoeuvres, a commander of the elite Revolutionary Guards Corps says.
"Tomorrow we will test the long-range Shahab missile," Hossein Salami said, referring to the Shahab 3.
He also said, without elaborating, that the Guards tested a "multiple missile launcher for the first time" today.
The country fired two short-range missiles as it began war games today, two days after the UN nuclear watchdog disclosed that Tehran was building a second uranium enrichment plant.
Iran's state-owned Al-Alam and Press TV channels reported that the missiles fired were of the Tondar and Fateh 110 type.
