Trump warns Iran's new missile can reach Israel

Washington: US President Donald Trump on Sunday has warned the new missile successfully tested by Iran on Friday may be able to reach Israel. "Iran just test-fired a Ballistic Missile capable of reaching Israel. They are also working with North Korea," Donald Trump wrote on his personal Twitter account on Saturday, Efe news reported. "Not much of an agreement we have!" the President added in his tweet, apparently alluding to the agreement signed in 2015 between Tehran and six international powers, including the US, on the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme.

The President tweeted the brief message after Iranian media reported that Iran successfully tested its new ballistic missile, called Khorramshahr, with a range of 2,000 km, which was unveiled on Friday for the first time during a military parade in Tehran. The missile was launched from an unknown location in Iran and a few hours after it was shown during the parade, the Iranian television channel Press TV released a video of the launch, on Saturday.

The Khorramshahr missile was paraded Friday, despite warnings from the US against Iran's weapons program, in the presence of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and senior military leaders.
