This is not good:
FOX NEWS – Iran test-fired another ballistic missile, the latest in a spate of tests following the implementation of the nuclear deal with world powers earlier this year, according to a report Monday by the country’s semi-official Tasnim news agency.
The test-firing of the missile, with a range of 1,250 miles, was carried out two weeks ago, the agency quoted Gen. Ali Abdollahi, deputy chief of headquarters of armed forces, as saying.
Iran, which insists the ballistic tests do not violate the nuclear deal, is likely seeking to demonstrate it is pushing ahead with its ballistic program despite scaling back on the nuclear program following the deal that led to the lifting of international sanction on Tehran.
Abdollahi said the latest missile tested is very accurate, within 8 yards. “Eight meters means nothing, it means it’s without any error,” he said. He did not elaborate.
In March, Iran test-fired two ballistic missiles — one emblazoned with the phrase “Israel must be wiped out” in Hebrew — that set off an international outcry.
Just to give you some idea how large a radius this ballistic missile can hit, I charged it on google maps with Tehran being the center point:
