Iran tested a new ballistic missile that is reportedly capable of carrying multiple warheads, the nation's state-run broadcaster announced Saturday.
Iran unveiled the ballistic missile Friday at a military parade in Tehran and successfully tested it the same day, Press TV reported. It said Iran released footage of the test-launch.
Called the Khorramshahr missile, the weapon has a range of 1,250 miles (2,000 kilometers) and can carry multiple warheads, according to Press TV.
"The Khorramshahr missile has become smaller in size and more tactical and it will be operational in the near future," the broadcaster said.
The missile was launched from an unknown location. With such a range, the missile would be easily capable of reaching Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Speaking during Friday's parade, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Tehran would press ahead with strengthening its missile capabilities and military defenses, Press TV reported.

Sekrit,
It sounds as if you are advocating for one of the Mideast tribes. Thats not a concern of America
You mideast tribesmen have been throwing rocks at each other for thousands of years. And you tribesmen will continue throwing rocks st each another forever.
America First
Dollars to donuts the rockets were designed by China, revised in NK and the technology sent to Iran.
Next comes the nuke bought by Iran from the NK.
Sure. Just add heavy water and two eggs, stir, and pop it in the oven.
The timing, folks, the timing. Right at the end of the Jewish New Year “Roshashonah” holiday. Their next missile test might be next week when it is “Yom Kippur”, the Day of Atonement (Starts at sundown Friday night and lasts all day Saturday).
No. Korea might also join into this missiles for Israel and Japan (or as Dick Shawn might have sung, “Rocket-time for So. Korea and Ja-pan”, ka-boom, ka-boom.
Brush up on your “Producers”, you all.
[...interesting the guy was sweating bullet’s...his forehead was as shiny as a mirror! ]
He’s probably thinking of defecting.
They don’t really.
They’ll use their weapons on Israel though.
Which is the only “ally” America has in the Middle East. Even after all the shady crap they’ve pulled on the U.S. throughout the years.
They shouldn’t be there in the first place.
