Israel within range of missile tested by Iran

The Teheran regime said Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired
the Shihab-3 on July 3 in the central desert.

Officials said Shihab-3 reached a target 1,300 kilometers away as part of a multi-missile exercise (Israel is 1,000 kilometers away).

“In these exercises, we used missiles with a range of 2,000 kilometers, but the plan called for them to be fired only 1,300 kilometers,” IRGC Air Force commander Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh said.

The liquid-fuel Shihab has been deemed Iran’s first deployed IRBM. The missile comes in a solid-fuel variant called Sejil and has undergone enhancements in accuracy.

Officials said Shihab and other missiles were fired at a single target
in Iran’s Kavir desert as part of the Great Prophet-7 exercise. They said Shihab-1 and Shihab-2, with ranges of 300 and 500 kilometers, were also fired in what was termed a successful trial.

IRGC has also been preparing to demonstrate its new combat unmanned
aerial vehicles for Great Prophet-7, scheduled to end on July 4. Officials
said the UAVs were deployed as part of a combined missile and manned
aircraft operation against a mock Western power, particularly the United
States.

“The message of these Grand Prophet-7 maneuvers is to show the
determination, the will and the power of the Iranian people in defending
their national interests and core values,” IRGC deputy commander Gen.
Hussein Salami said. “It’s a reaction to those who are politically
discourteous to the Iranian people by saying ‘all options are on the
table.’ “
