 TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran has test-fired a new long-range missile, the country's state Press TV reported on Sunday.
| Perhaps. You can never be too sure, it might be an old TV re-run. |
Iran often stages war games or tests weapons to show its determination to counter any attack by foes including Israel and the United States, which accuse the Islamic Republic of seeking to develop nuclear bombs. Tehran denies the charge.
| And if it can't it just makes something up out of thin air ... |
"Iran test fires new long range missile," Press TV, Iran's English-language television station, said in a scrolling headline without giving details.
The Press TV report came less than a week after a top Iranian military commander said that Iranian missiles could now reach Israeli nuclear sites. Iran has often said it has missiles able to reach the Jewish state but had not previously mentioned such specific targets. Israel is believed to be the only nuclear-armed Middle East state.
| I hear the old TV studios where the US faked the moon landings are available. |
