Iran fires missile that can hit Israel

The United States led Western condemnation of the tests, saying it would reinforce suspicions over Tehran’s military ambitions at a time when world powers are seeking to resolve the long-running nuclear standoff.

Al-Alam said the missiles test-fired by the Revolutionary Guards included a Shahab-3 with a one-tonne conventional warhead and a 2,000-kilometre range.

“Our missiles are ready for shooting at any place and any time, quickly and with accuracy. The enemy must not repeat its mistakes. The enemy targets are under surveillance,” Salami added.

“We want to tell the world that those who conduct their foreign policy by using the language of threat against Iran have to know that our finger is always on the trigger and we have hundreds and even thousands of missiles ready to be fired against predetermined targets,” CNN quoted Gen Hossein Salami as saying.
