Iran's navy shows off its missiles

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran test-fired three new sea missiles in the Persian Gulf
Friday, indicating that the maneuvers should send a clear message to the
U.S. not to conduct any more military exercises in the area. 

Iranian state television broadcast footage of the Revolutionary Guards
firing naval-warfare missiles with a range of about 106 miles. It was the
second day in a row that Iran had announced the development and testing of
missiles in the maneuvers. 

The tests and exercises came only days after the U.S. conducted naval
maneuvers in the Gulf, and as U.N. Security Council members wrangle over
what steps to take against Iran for ignoring its call to cease uranium
enrichment - a key step in making nuclear bombs. 

"Our enemies should keep their hostility out of the Persian Gulf," said Adm.
Sardar Fadavi, the deputy chief of the Revolutionary Guards navy. 

"They should not initiate any move that would make the region tense," Fadavi
said in a clear reference to the United States. The admiral was speaking to
state radio about the U.S.-led maneuvers, which ended Monday. Tehran called
the exercises "adventurist." 

Fadavi said the missiles tested Friday demonstrated Iran's capabilities, and
had been "improved by our domestic technology."
