August 20, 2006 :: Washington Post :: News

Iran today test launched 10 short-range Saegheh missiles in the Kashan desert, about 250 kilometers southeast of Tehran. According to Iranian state-run television, the Saegheh (“lightning” in Farsi) is domestically manufactured and has a range of between 80 and 250 kilometers. The report quoted Iranian Brigadier General Kiumars Heydari as saying, “Surface-to-surface as well as surface-to-sea missiles built by domestic defense industries with considerable range, high precision and large production numbers, will enable us to prevent any type of threat.” The test launches were part of a large Iranian war game that began Saturday, August 19. (Article)
