Associated Press reports:TEHRAN, Iran – Iran tested its most advanced missiles Monday to cap two days of war games, raising more international concern and stronger pressure to quickly come clean on the newly revealed nuclear site Tehran was secretly constructing.
This happening just days after Obama announced that State television said the powerful Revolutionary Guard, which controls Iran's missile program, successfully tested upgraded versions of the medium-range Shahab-3 and Sajjil missiles. Both can carry warheads and reach up to 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometers), putting Israel, U.S. military bases in the Middle East, and parts of Europe within striking distance.
The missile tests were meant to flex Iran's military might and show readiness for any military threat.
"Iranian missiles are able to target any place that threatens Iran," said Abdollah Araqi, a top Revolutionary Guard commander, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.
Iran conducted three rounds of missile tests in drills that began Sunday, two days after the U.S. and its allies disclosed the country had been secretly developing an underground uranium enrichment facility. The Western powers warned Iran it must open the site to international inspection or face harsher international sanctions.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hasan Qashqavi said the missile tests had nothing to do with the tension over the site, saying it was part of routine, long-planned military exercises.
Well aren't we all becoming BOLD and launching our missiles.... I mean first North Korea and now Iran. How funny after Obama decides to forget about the missile shield in Europe, Iran decides to let the world know....oops we have a 2nd SECRETIVE site we've not been honest about.
Oh dear Lord....lets all have a tea party, slap Iran's hand, and then back to business as they ignore all of us and carry on with their daily routine. I bet Isreal is NOT too happy with this latest news. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised....should Isreal bomb those KNOWN sites. I'm cheering on the sidelines!!!!
