Iranian state television on Monday broadcast footage of missile silos with the claim that medium and long-range Shihab missiles are “ready to hit pre-determined targets.” The presumed targets within range include most of Israel and American military bases located in the Middle East. A spokesman for the Revolutionary Guard, which is responsible for the missile batteries, said the silos are located throughout the country and cannot be detected by satellite imaging. The missiles were presented as a defensive asset in the event Iran is attacked. On Tuesday as ten-days of war games got underway, the FARS news agency reported that 14 rockets were test-fired. The various missiles in the Iranian arsenal were all included and five were launched simultaneously in one exercise. On Monday, a Russian deputy foreign minister announced that the 1,000-megawatt Bushehr plant being built by Russia as part of a $1 billion deal – Iran’s first nuclear facility — will go on-line in August. The plant has been plagued by problems that delayed its completion.
