Iran test-fired two ballistic missiles with the phrase “Israel must
be wiped out” written on them Wednesday, according to media reports.
The country’s semiofficial Fars news agency said the missiles were fired at a target 870 miles away.
It came the day after Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it test-fired several ballistic missiles as part of a military exercise.
The official IRNA news agency said the aim was to show the Islamic Republic’s “deterrent power” and “all-out readiness to counter any threat.”
The U.S implemented sanctions against 11 people and companies involved in Iran's ballistic missile program on Jan. 17.
U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner on Tuesday said that Washington would review the reported tests and raise them in the U.N. Security Council to seek an "appropriate response" if they are confirmed, Reuters reported.
