Iran said its armed forces had fired two more ballistic missiles bearing the Hebrew-language inscription "Israel needs to be wiped off face of the earth" on Wednesday as it continued tests in defiance of US warnings.
"Long-range Qadr-H and Qadr-F precision missiles were fired today... which destroyed targets" some 1,400 kilometers away, official media quoted the deputy head of the Revolutionary Guards, General Hossein Salami, as saying.
The two types of missiles were designed to, and capable of striking Israel, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh was quoted as saying by the ISNA agency as saying.
"The reason we designed our missiles with a range of 2000 km is to be able to hit our enemy the Zionist regime from a safe distance."
