Iran jalankan ujian peluru berpandu jarak jauh
An image grab from the Arabic-language Iranian TV station Al-Alam taken on July 9, 2008 shows a long range missile before it’s firing early today by Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards at an undisclosed location in the Iranian desert. Al-Alam said that a Shahab-3 missile with a conventional warhead weighing one tonne and a 2,000 kilometre (1,240 mile) range, sufficient to put Israel within reach, was test fired today in the Islamic republic. The test firing, which also included the firing of several other missiles, comes at a time of growing tensions over the Iranian nuclear programme, which the West fears could be aimed at making an atomic bomb.Getty Images
