Original Message Surface-to-surface missiles capable of travelling 800 miles fired today
Iran claim test was response to U.S. refusal to rule out military strikes against country's nuclear program
Western fears remain that Iran wants to build nuclear weapons, Tensions have increased in the Persian Gulf today after Iran test fired long-range ballistic missiles capable of hitting Israel.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards tested several surface-to-surface weapons in the country's remote Kavir Desert, amid western fears the Islamic Republic wants to build nuclear weapons.
Iran said the test firing was a response to Israel and Washington's refusal to rule out military strikes to stop Iran's nuclear program.
The missiles fired today can travel distances of 800 miles (1,300km), a distance making them capable of striking Israel.
The official IRNA news agency said the surface-to-surface missiles successfully hit their targets, while semi-official Fars said the salvos included the so-called Shahab-3 missile.

The Guards' acting commander told state TV the tests were aimed at mock enemy bases in a war game exercise.
Iran has tested a variety of missiles in previous war games, including a Shahab-3 variant with a range of 2,000 kilometers that can reach Israel and southern Europe
