TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran successfully test-fired a new generation of long range surface-to-surface missile using solid fuel, making them more accurate than its predecessors, the defense minister announced Wednesday.
Mostafa Mohammed Najjar said on state television that the Sajjil was a high-speed missile manufactured at the Iranian Aerospace department of the Defense Ministry. He said it had a range of about 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometers).
Solid fuel missiles are more accurate than the liquid fuel missiles of a similar range currently possessed by Iran.

If and when Iran does get ahold of some nuclear enrichment, then they would ASAP put them in to those special rockets and fire them at Israel. You know what will happen next??? Take a quess? The shat will hit the fan, and then the whole friggen world WILL BE at WW3.

Sorry to be "offtopic". I think there is a "conspiracy" with certain countries wanting all of a sudden to send rockets into space, conspiracy about they are preparing long-range missles. The pieces of the puzzle fits into = WW3.

well interestingly enough, Iran is now questioning the validity of the document that originally claimed that it has nuclear WMD's... there was a news report out of Tehran about it but i could not verify it anywhere including IAEA.
Could it be another search of the ever elusive WMD's just like in Iraq?????????????
TEHRAN, Iran – Iran said it successfully test-fired a new generation of long range surface-to-surface missile on Wednesday — one that could easily strike as far away as southeastern Europe with greater precision than earlier models.
The Sajjil is a solid fuel high-speed missile with a range of about 1,200 miles, Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammed Najjar said on state television. At that range, it could easily strike Iran's arch-foe Israel and go as far as southeastern Europe.
Solid-fuel missiles are more accurate than the liquid fuel missiles of similar range currently possessed by Iran. The country has had a solid-fuel missile with a shorter range — the Fateh, able to fly 120 miles — for several years.
