Iran Test Fires Ballistic Missile

March 8, 2016- The Aerospace Division of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) is holding the final stage of large-scale missile drills. The final phase of the exercises, codenamed Eqtedar-e-Velayat, saw ballistic missiles fired from silo-based launchers in different locations across the country on Tuesday. The maneuvers are aimed at displaying Iran's "deterrence power" and the country's "full readiness to confront all kinds of threats against the Revolution, establishment and territorial integrity," the IRGC said.
