News of successful Iranian missile test worries Israel, U.S.

Iran successfully test-fired a missile that can avoid radar and
hit several targets simultaneously using multiple warheads,
the military said Friday, a development which raised eyebrows
among officials in Washington and Jerusalem.

The Fajr-3, which means "Victory" in Farsi, can reach Israel and
U.S. bases in the Middle East, state Iranian media indicated -
causing alarm in the United States and Israel. Friday's announcement
also is likely to stoke regional tensions and feed suspicion about Tehran's
military intentions and nuclear ambitions.
