I24 NEWS – Iran on Wednesday unveiled a new missile with a range of 900 miles – capable of hitting US bases throughout Middle East or locations in Israel, the semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported.
The missile was displayed during a visit by senior Iranian officials to Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) military bases, the agency said.
Israel’s closest point to Iran is just over 600 miles away.
“This strategic weapon is an IRGC-developed, third-generation, long-range missile powered by solid fuel and capable of penetrating missile shields with high maneuverability,” Tasnim said.
“The modified design of the missile has reduced its weight by a third compared to similar devices,” it was reported, while the preparation time required for its launch was reduced to a sixth of what is normally required.
This announcement also comes the day after the resumption of talks in Vienna to relaunch the 2015 nuclear agreement between Tehran and world powers.

May they all explode on the launching pad.

Let them build their missiles. Those missiles will fall on their won heads.
