Iran reports long-range missile launch in exercise
Iran said Tuesday it test-fired several ballistic missiles, including a long-range variety meant to dissuade an Israeli or US attack, alongside a push by Washington to beef up its military might in the region.
The powerful Revolutionary Guard's acting commander told state TV that the tests, aimed at mock enemy bases in a war games exercise, were a response to refusal by Israel and the US to rule out military strikes to stop Iran's nuclear program. (AP)
