Iran Launches New Ground-to-ground Missile
Friday, August 20, 2010 at 9:58 pm
In the latest demonstration of Iran’s military capacities state TV broadcast the test-launch of a new ground-to-ground missile, the Qiyam (Resurrection)-1 on Friday.
Iran did not disclose the range of the missile, but Defence Minister Ahmad Vahidi said it had a range of new technical characteristics with high tactical capability.
This is a surface to surface missile. It does not have small directional wings, which give it tactical superiority. It has it’s own tracking and targeting, and can avoid being targeted by counter-missile systems, Defence Minister Ahmad Vahidi said.
Iran would stop higher-grade enrichment if it is assured of nuclear fuel supplies for a research reactor, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying in a Japanese newspaper on Friday.
Published on the eve of the inauguration of Iran’s first nuclear power plant, Ahmadinejad’s comments appeared to signal possible willingness to compromise on a key concern for the West regarding the Islamic Republic’s nuclear programme.
