Zitat:Iran approves 'strategic missile'
Iran has confirmed that it successfully test-fired what it calls a "strategic missile" during recent military exercises.
...
Defence Minister Ali Shamkhani told Iranian state media that following the test, the missiles had now been delivered to the armed forces.
He did not name the missile or give details of its range.
...
"This strategic missile was successfully test-fired during... military exercises by the Revolutionary Guards and delivered to the armed forces," Mr Shamkhani said.
He was quoted by Iran's student news agency, Isna, as saying that it was better than another unspecified missile for four reasons - it was more powerful, more accurate, faster and had a longer range.
The French AFP news agency said it was not clear whether or not the minister was talking about an improved version of the Shahab-3 medium-range missile, which it said had been tested in August.
