Iran Test-Fires Medium-Range Missiles

The Washington Post reports:

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps is conducting a 10-day series of missile tests, including the firing of medium-range missiles at targets at sea, and it has revealed a previously secret network of underground missile silos, Iranian state media reported Tuesday.

The tests are a part of scheduled maneuvers aimed at strengthening Iran’s military doctrine of “asymmetrical warfare” in which the Revolutionary Guards would lead counterstrikes in case of an attack on Iran by the United States or Israel. The exercise is intended to send a message of “peace and friendship” to regional countries, state media reported.

However, Revolutionary Guard commanders said that if “provoked,” Iran could hit Israel, as well as U.S. bases and warships, with missiles fired from deep inside the country.
