Map: Iran's missile range
AC360°
Days before a key meeting with Western leaders, Iran test-fired two types of long-range missiles Monday in part of what the Islamic republic called routine military exercises, its state-run media reported.
The tests drew condemnation from France, which noted through its Foreign Ministry that the action comes only a week after Iran revealed the existence of a covert uranium enrichment site.
"These tests can only reinforce the worries of countries in the surrounding region and the international community, especially as Iran is, in parallel, developing a nuclear program, with the existence of a clandestine uranium enrichment site having just been revealed," the ministry said.

Hopefully Israel will have guts enough to do something to protect the region while our administration tries to talk things out.
This is awesome..Keep up the good work on what is happening.. We were promised none of these weapons would be allowed in the Presidents Address. I have a son 12 years .
