Iran test-fires ballistic missile
Iran test fired a ballistic missile two weeks ago, a senior
Iranian commander said.
Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General
Ali Abdollahi said that the country's armed forces have test-fired
a 2000-km range ballistic missile, and an error margin of eight
meters, Fars news agency reported.
Iranian media sources have widely reported on the home-grown
missiles exhibited or test-fired over the last Iranian calendar
year, 1394 (ended March 20). Media reports suggested that Iran
maintains dozens of short, medium and long-range ballistic missiles
with one of the largest missile arsenals in the Middle East.
Although several Western and regional countries have expressed
concerns over Iran's missile program, the Islamic Republic has
repeatedly said that its military might poses no threat to other
countries, reiterating that its defense doctrine is merely based on
deterrence.
