Iran tests new advanced missile, Ahmadinejad says

Tehran - Iran on Wednesday successfully tested a new surface-to-surface missile that has a range of about 2,000 kilometres, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said. The official IRNA news agency quoted the president as saying in a speech in Semnan in north-eastern Iran, where he said the missile was launched, that the Sejil 2 was more advanced and had a better fuel system than previous Iranian missiles. IRNA said the Sejil 2 has a longer range than the Shabab 3, which had been considered the country's main medium-range missile. The West has continually voiced concern over the Shahab 3 missile, which, with a range of 1,300 to 2,000 kilometres, could reach any part of Israel, the archenemy of the Islamic state of Iran.
