Tehran - Arab Today
Iran has test-fired a new ballistic missile with a range of 2,000km in recent days, a senior Iranian commander announced.
Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Ali Abdollahi made the announcement while addressing a ceremony in Tehran according to FARS News Agency.
He said that the missile which hit the target with an 8-meter-margin of error was test-fired two weeks ago.
The General did not reveal any further detail about the exact date or location of the test.
On March 9, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) successfully fired ballistic missiles as part of measures to assess its capabilities. Iran says its missiles are for defense and designed to carry conventional explosives only.
