Iran has unveiled its latest ballistic missile as tensions with the West continue over its nuclear programme.

 

Authorities showed off the liquid-fuelled Khorramshahr-4 to journalists at an event in Tehran, with the missile on a truck-mounted launcher.

 

Defence Minister Gen. Mohammad Reza Ashtiani said the missile could be prepared for launch in a short period.

Iranian officials described the missile as having a 2,000km (1,240-mile) range with a 1,500 kilogram (3,300-pound) warhead.

 

They also released undated video footage that they said showed a successful launch of the missile.

I wonder if I will ever see an article about Irael and their non declared nuclear weapons.

The west, and especially the USA, pretend those weapons don't exist.

But when Iran tries to build similar weapons then that seems to be somehow an international problem.

The difference might be that Iran openly says it wants to wipe Israel of the map and Israel should not exist. And Iran is openly anti-western and

according to Western news sources is sponsoring terrorist attacks around the world. My guess is that the world fears Iran more than it does Israel.
