IRAN FIRED around 14 missiles on Tuesday. These missiles have been fired at a single target, as Iran wants to show its strength to the Islamic enemies in Washington and Israel. The missiles fired were surface to surface missiles that covered a maximum range of 2000 km. These ‘military games’ initiated by Iran have been given a code name “Great Prophet-6", and will last for a span of 10 days. The programme started on Monday, June 27.

The Iran government has made it very clear with these test firing of the missiles that they are prepared to react if there is an attack on Iran. The officials from Israel and Washington have said that they would not hesitate in attacking Iran if there is a failure in the diplomatic talks regarding an end to develop its nuclear programme.

Some medium and long range missiles fired were Shahab-1, Shahab-2, and Shahab-3 along with other missiles. Shahab-3 is considered to be a very strong missile that is capable of targeting places like Israel and the military bases of the US in the Middle East. Shahab-3 uses a liquid fuel.

According to some reports, Iran is capable of manufacturing missiles that are capable of travelling more than these missiles but they have not thought of producing such new missiles as of now.
