A Khorramshahr long-range missile is displayed during the annual military parade in Teheran on Friday. (EPA Photo)DUBAI: Iran has successfully tested a new ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 kilometres after displaying it 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. "You are seeing images of the successful test of the Khorramshahr ballistic missile with a range of 2,000km, the latest missile of our country," state television said. 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.
