Iran fires ballistic missiles a day after test; U.S. officials hint at violation
Iran test-fired two ballistic missilesWednesday, state media reported, just a day after
its missile tests that Washington suspected violated
a U.N. resolution .
The two Qadr missiles were fired from the Alborz
Mountains in northern Iran . They hit targets 1,400
kilometers (870 miles) away in the southeast part
of the country, Press TV reported.
One of the missiles, the Qadr-F, had a range of
2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) and the other, the
Qadr-H, had a range of 1,700 kilometers (1,056
miles), according to the report. It cited Brig. Gen.
Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Islamic
Revolution Guards Corps' aerospace division.
The missiles, capable of reaching Iran's archenemy
Israel , were marked with a statement in Hebrew
reading "Israel must be wiped off the arena of
time," Iran's semiofficial Fars News Agency
reported.
