Iran's new ballistic missile is capable of carrying several warheads and of reaching much of the Middle East
Iran has successfully tested a new ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 km (1,200 miles) which it displayed at a military parade on Friday, state media reported on Saturday.
The test-firing of the Khorramshahr missile, which Iran said could carry several warheads, is likely to raise concerns in Washington.
State broadcaster IRIB carried footage of the missile test without giving its time and location, including video from an on-board camera which it said showed the detachment of the cone that carries multiple warheads.
"You are seeing images of the successful test of the Khorramshahr ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 km, the latest missile of our country," state television said.
"This is the third Iranian missile with a range of 2,000 km," it added.
The Khorramshahr missile was first displayed at a military parade on Friday, where President Hassan Rouhani said Iran would strengthen its missile capabilities without seeking any country's permission.
