DUBAI - Iran’s Revolutionary Guards inaugurated a surface-to-surface ballistic missile with a range of 1,000 km (621 miles), the semi-official Fars news agency reported on Thursday, ignoring demands Western demands that Tehran halt its missile program.
Fars published pictures of an underground missile factory called “underground city”, saying the “Dezful” missile was a version of the Zolfaghar missile that has a 700 km range and a 450 kg (992 lb) warhead.
Iran says it has missiles with the range of up to 2,000 km, which puts Israel and U.S. military bases in the region within reach.
The EU has stepped up criticism of Iran’s ballistic missiles program, while the block remains committed to a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and major powers.
A 2015 U.N. resolution that enshrines the nuclear deal “called upon” Iran to refrain for up to eight years from work on ballistic missiles designed to deliver nuclear weapons. Some states argue that the language does not make it obligatory.

Is their underground city anything like North Korea’s underground city? The one that collapsed?
True, Obama threw a lot of our money around. But let’s not forget that the traditional counterbalance to Iran was Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. George W. Bush did Iran a huge favor by removing Saddam.
Obama’s interference was nothing compared to Bush’s.
Oh, those frisky Iranians.
Always showing off their new weapon.
“This is our new stick. It is much better than American sticks. It is a stealth stick. (Drops it) See, it’s no longer visible.”
“Go ahead, skin that ‘smokewagon’ and see what happens....”
Where did the mullahs get the money to do this kind of stuff,,,,,oh yea, mullah Obama.
I guess John Kerry should have put more bundles of dollars on those pallets.
