TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran test-fired nine long- and medium-range missiles Wednesday during war games that officials said aimed to show the country can retaliate against any U.S. or Israeli attack, state television reported.
The exercise was being conducted at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which about 40 percent of the world's oil passes. Iran has threatened to shut down traffic in the strait if attacked.
Gen. Hossein Salami, the air force commander of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, said the exercise would "demonstrate our resolve and might against enemies who in recent weeks have threatened Iran with harsh language," the TV report said.
Footage showed at least six missiles firing simultaneously, and said the barrage included a new version of the Shahab-3 missile, which officials have said has a range of 1,250 miles and is armed with a 1-ton conventional warhead.
That would put Israel, Turkey, the Arabian peninsula, Afghanistan and Pakistan within striking distance.

That version is already posted in “breaking news.”
Of course the appeasers and the yellow bellied crowd won’t believe there is any threat from Iran until we see a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv.
Then what will they say to the dead, “we’re sorry, we can’t believe Iran would DO that!!!!” ?
They'll say it was Bush's fault, of course.
OK.
Now the newer version is also in “breaking news.”
Yikes, I hope the messiah asks Iran to stop this foolishness!/s
This ought to push oil back up.
We already KNOW what our missles are capable of.
It’s coming.
Interesting isn’t it. Iran notifies the US of its upcoming war games and missile tests - oil drops a few days before, lot of buying then the tests and oil goes up again.
Now there is no question that we need War With Iran. Iran Must be Taken Out before they attack Israel. President Bush or President McCain have the moral courage to do what is necessary and declare war on Iran, Obama doesn’t.

Hey Iran THUGS...Congrats on RANGE...when you can demonstrate that you won’t actually hit Mecca with your bottle rockets but instead actually come within a mile of your target I will START to worry.
And Clinton's fault, and Bush's fault, and Reagan's fault and Carter's fault?
But in May Obama said Iran is not a threat. So there, it’s not.
That’s because Obama is the threat..
