Iran Fires Three New Missiles in Military Exercises
Iran says it has test fired three new types of missiles during a second day of military exercises in the Persian Gulf. Iran state television showed footage Friday of the elite Revolutionary Guard firing what officials named Noor, Kowsar and Nasr missiles from mobile launching pads on the shore and from warships. Iranian officials say the missiles are capable of hitting targets anywhere in the Gulf region, the Strait of Hormuz and the Sea of Oman.
Iran said Thursday it had test-fired numerous missiles in the first hours of a 10-day military exercise. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Tehran's action is an effort to demonstrate its strength and tell the world it will not be stopped from getting a nuclear weapon.
伊朗说，它在波斯湾的第二天军事演习中试射了三种新型导弹。伊朗国家电视台星期五播放了革命卫队从岸边的移动发射平台和战舰上试射伊朗官员所称的“诺尔”、“科萨尔”和“纳萨尔”三种导弹的画面。伊朗官员说，导弹可以抵达波斯湾、霍尔木兹海峡以及阿曼海的任何地点。
伊朗星期四说，在10天军事演习的第一天的最初几个小时试射了若干枚导弹。美国国务卿赖斯表示，伊朗试射导弹在努力于显示其实力，并且告诉全世界它不会被阻止获得核武器。
