The missiles -- Shahab-3 and Sajjil -- were launched in the desert as part of military exercises that began before the U.S., France and Britain accused Tehran over the weekend of building a secret uranium-enrichment plant in the mountains. The U.S. and other nations have threatened new sanctions against Iran if international inspectors are denied access to the facility.
The Sahab-3 and the Sajjil 2 have a range of 800 to 1,200 miles. The Sajjil 2 is powered by solid fuel, making it more accurate than previous generations of missiles in the Islamic republic's arsenal. It was not the first time these missiles were tested, but their launchings as part of an exercise called "The Great Prophet IV" coincided with growing tension leading to Iran's meeting in Geneva on Thursday with the U.S. and other nations.

Shah Gholam I know war
by Farhad Kashani on Tue Sep 29, 2009 01:53 PM PDTShah Gholam
I know war mongering and hate perpetuating and provocation masters thugs and Fascists like IRI and yourself love nothing more than for Iran to get into yet another devastating war, but if you think 1960s N Korean technology can survive state of the arts weapons in the hands of NATO, U.S and Israel, you are not only pathetic, but you have serious mental issues.
I just hope that war mongering, hate perpetuating, provocation masters people like you and IRI don’t get their way and war wouldn’t start between Iran and the West, cause rational people know the price that innocent Iranian people gotta pay for IRIs devilish nature is going to be heavy, the same way the paid the price for the 8 years war started because Fascist Khomeini wanted to “export his fundamentalist revolution to the holy land of Iraq”!
I just hope that we can find a way to send IRI and supporters only to hell, where they belong, so the rest of the Iranian people can be spared from war, torture and oppression.
