Iran test fires ballistic missiles

Iran test-fired a long range ballistic missile today prompting reactions from the U.S. presidential candidates. Both Barack Obama and John McCain slammed the tests in statements released today.

Iran has been rapidly developing its military apparently on fears of a possible U.S. and/or Israeli strike. Over the last year it has obtained the modern SA-15 Tor air defense system from Russia and has tested many of its own weapons systems.
