Iran has successfully tested a new precision-guided, long-range missile, Iranian state-run media reported.CNN reports that the new missile, dubbed Emad, which means “pillar” in Farsi, is a surface-to-surface missile and a variant of Iran’s existing Shahab-3, but with a maneuvering reentry vehicle to improve system accuracy.
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani unveiled the country's latest domestically produced ballistic missile on Saturday, saying such weapons are necessary for defence in the Middle East.
The Pentagon said on Monday that it had tested a conventionally configured ground-launched cruise missile with a range of more than 500 km (310 miles), the first such test since the US pulled out of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF). Claire Rush has more.
Israel and the United States have successfully carried out tests of a long-range ballistic missile interceptor that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says provides protection against potential threats from Iran.
