TEHRAN, Iran, September 28, SPA -- Iran said it successfully test-fired the longest-range missiles in its arsenal on Monday, The Associated Press reported. State television said the powerful Revolutionary Guard,which controls Iran's missile program, successfully testedthe medium-range Shahab-3 and Sajjil missiles with can flyup to 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometers). It was the thirdround of missile tests in two days of drills by the Guard. The Sajjil-2 missile is Iran's most advanced two-stagesurface-to-surface missile and is powered entirely bysolid-fuel while the older Shahab-3 uses a combination ofsolid and liquid fuel in its most advanced form. Solid fuel is seen as a technological breakthrough for anymissile program as solid fuel increases the accuracy ofmissiles in reaching targets.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/703868
