Iran Revolutionary Guards conduct additional ballistic missile test

 Iran’s Revolutionary Guards test-fired several ballistic missiles from silos across the country as part of a military exercise on Tuesday, the Iranian Students news agency (ISNA) reported.

 

The test was intended “to show Iran’s deterrent power and also the Islamic Republic’s ability to confront any threat against the (Islamic) Revolution, the state and the sovereignty of the country”, ISNA said.

 

Iran continued development of their Emad ballistic missiles in spite of the fact that it has evoked a harsh response from the US. In January, the US imposed fresh sanctions on the Islamic Republic on the grounds that the Emad is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and the test therefore violated a UN resolution.
