Iran test-fires new missile

Iran has test-fired a new air-to-surface missile, Iranian media reported on Sunday, in the Islamic Republic's latest display of its military capability.

State-run television reported that a long-range missile was fired, the Fars News Agency said an anti-ship air-to-surface missile, with a range of 110 km. had in fact been tested. The latter report cited a missile having far less range than the Shihab-3 missile which Iran says can reach as far as Israel.

Was this a simple test or a display of force? Was this meant to send a message to the rest of the world? How will President Obama respond? What about Israel?
It is hard at this time to answer the questions, but time will tell us more than we may want to know!

I will be following the developments at the Worldview blog.
