On TV missiles a go go! Show off of Revolutionary Guard! Iran stages show of missile power Iran yesterday test-fired dozen of missiles, including the Shahab-3 that can reach Israel, in military exercises it said aimed to stop the role of world powers in the Gulf. NASSER KARIMI, Tehran November 03 2006 Iran yesterday test-fired dozen of missiles, including the Shahab-3 that can reach Israel, in military exercises it said aimed to stop the role of world powers in the Gulf. Iran remains locked in dispute with the West over its nuclear programme, which Washington says is geared to producing atomic weapons but Tehran says is only for generating electricity. The show of strength came three days after US-led warships finished naval exercises in the Gulf that Iran branded as "adventurist". State television reported that several kinds of missiles were tested, and broadcast footage of them being fired. "We want to show our deterrent and defensive power to transregional enemies, and we hope they will understand the message," said the head of the Revolutionary Guards, General Yahya Rahim Safavi, in a clear reference to the United States, Britain and France, which took part in the six-nation manoeuvres this week. Israel's Infrastructure Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said he was not surprised at the tests and warned that to leave Iran unchecked would pose a risk to the world. "Iran is following a direct line after North Korea. Therefore this problem is not Israel's but that of the entire world," he said, referring to North Korea's recent nuclear test and its frequent launches of long-range missiles.–AP © Newsquest (Herald & Times) Ltd.
