TEHRAN, Iran Iran claims it has successfully test-fired what it's air force chief is calling a "near-stealth" missile.
General Hossein Salami says the missile can hit several targets at the same time with pinpoint accuracy. He says it's highly maneuverable and can avoid radar.
Appearing on state-run television, the Iranian general says the missile debuted during war games in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea.
Iranian television describes it as a ballistic missile. That would put it in the same category as Iran's Shahab-three, which has a 12-hundred-50-mile range, putting U-S Middle East bases and Israel in its reach.
It also appears capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. Iran has dubbed it "Victory."

During the maneuvers, around 1500 military vessels, planes, helicopters and missile launch systems will be used.
