Iran has test-fired a new air-to-surface missile
Iran has test-fired a new air-to-surface missile, Reuters reported.
"Iran test fires new long range missile," Press TV, Iran's English-language television station, said in a scrolling headline.
The report came days after Iran's military chief warned Israel that its nuclear facilities are within the range of Iranian missiles.
The warning from Revolutionary Guards commander Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari is the latest message from Tehran that it will strike back if attacked.
Iran's Shahab-3 missiles have a range of up to 1,250 miles, putting Israel within striking distance.
