Iran strong stand on holding their perseverance to develop modern weapons is proved by the successful test of long-range missiles on Wednesday, July 7, 2009. Iran is always on the move. A country of Ayatollah in the middle east being rich in oil has never become a yellow streak to any pressure coming from the USA or Europe. Mahmoud Ahamadinnejad is the man who lately leads Iran to bravely confront the agitators and invaders trying to conquer the country. His stand against nuclear issue putting the country on the “a must spy” country is obvious: Fight for it.

The weapons have “special capabilities” and included missiles launched from naval ships in the Persian Gulf, along with torpedoes and surface-to-surface missiles. A brief video clip showed two missiles being fired simultaneously in the darkness.

Among the missiles Iran tested Wednesday was a new version of the Shahab-3, which has distant reach 1,250 miles and is armed with a 1-ton conventional warhead. That would put Israel, Turkey, the Arabian peninsula, Afghanistan and Pakistan all within striking distance.

Wednesday’s missile tests were conducted at the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway at the mouth of the Persian Gulf through which about 40 percent of the world’s oil passes. Iran has threatened to shut down traffic in the strait if attacked. Oil prices jumped on news of Wednesday’s tests, rising $1.44 to $137.48 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

The test is likely to prove that Iran is a sovereign country which has the right to go on developing their technology in weapons as well as in nuclear. However, Iran government always keep the words consistently that all such development activities are for peace purpose and for future alternative energy stock.

Why bother? If America and their alliance can and always keep on modernizing their missiles and as such, a country like Iran also has the same right.
