Iran Tests New Solid Fuel Missile
[Jerusalem Post] Iran tested a newly-developed ballistic missile on the day of the Annapolis conference, Israel TV Channel 10 reported Wednesday. The Ashoura missile has a range of 2,000 kilometers and is capable of reaching Israel, U.S. Army bases in the Middle East, and eastern European cities, including Moscow. An improvement on the existing Shihab-3 missile, the Ashoura uses solid fuel instead of the Shihab's liquid fuel, giving it a significantly faster launch sequence which is harder to detect.
