Iran to Test-fire Sophisticated Shahab 3 Missile Soon

TEHRAN, Aug. 7 (MNA) – Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani said on Saturday that Iran will soon test-fire the more sophisticated Shahab 3 missile.

“We will prove the effectiveness of the developed Shahab 3 missile in the near future,”  Shamkhani told the Mehr News Agency in a ceremony commemorating defense correspondents.

 

“We have prepared ourselves for the worst threatening situation and we believe any country which is not in such a high preparedness will have a fate like Saddam,” Shamkhani said.

 

The minister vehemently repudiated the spread of rumors by Israel that Iran’s missile capability is a threat to Europe.

 

“We have repeatedly announced that Iran is not a threat to any country,” the minister asserted.
