Iran Conducts Missile Test: U.S. Defense Official

Iran fired a medium-range Shahab-3 missile the night of May 23 in a test, a U.S. defense official said May 24.

”Iran fired a Shahab-3 Tuesday,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The missile test has not been announced by Tehran.
”It can always help Iran increase its confidence in the program,” said a second defense official without commenting on whether a test had taken place.

...

Iran is reported to be working on extending the missile’s range. An Iranian general in January said that the Shahab-3 was capable of striking targets 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) away.
