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.

So, if we believe the news media...they developed this missile with multiple war-head capability in less than a week (after Trump’s talk at the UN).

Little Fat Boy and the Mulas in Iran are busy playing with their rockets to show the U.S. they can come from either direction (assuming the damn things actually exist and work). I hope Reagan’s “Star Wars” weapons actually exist when needed.

All part of his plan. He was and is the biggest enemy the United States has ever had.

I’ve got to believe the USA and Israel have no intention of sitting back and allowing this to continue.

Yeah, Trump’s fault!

The logic is clear. Trump gives his UN speech and a week later there’s a new Iranian missile on my TV.

Therefore Trump caused this. /s

The world’s bad guys are using Trump to justify their bad behavior. They do this because A) they know the low info crowd will buy into it, and B) they know the hate-America left in the Western world will support the narrative.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is thanking former President Obama for sending over a crapload of unmarked cash in an unmarked plane.

zero

A relatively small air burst, or low orbit blast, over the Midwest can cause an EMP that will cripple electronics and satellite comms nationwide. Both the Norks and the Islamic Republic of Iran are actively working on this capability. Iran has vowed to "wipe Israel off the face of the earth" which should be viewed as a threat to the US and it interests. I hope you were joking.

NO NUKES was a lie. They are perfectly OK with North Korea and Iran using nuclear energy and even developing (and using) nuclear bombs as a “deterrent” against the West.

There are large numbers of Americans stationed in places like Qatar, right next to Iran. Do you think they view the threat from Iran as zero?

N.Korea speaker at UN live via Fox a few minutes ago....unloading big time on Trump...interesting the guy was sweating bullet's...his forehead was as shiny as a mirror! These men at the UN speaking for N.Korea really have no power in themselves in the N.Korea Government. I suspect they're told to be gruff and left to themselves how they carry it off under threat...likely of death .
