Iran began testing missiles Monday that can travel as far as Israel or Southern Europe, reports the Wall Street Journal. Iran announced Sunday it would fire test missiles during three-day war games in the country’s desert, as reported by the semiofficial Mehr News Agency.
This week’s drills will include more than 100 firings of domestically designed ballistic missiles that have been mass produced for the event. Plans also include bomber drones and aircrafts. The missiles are set to hit targets made to look like the air ibases in the region.
