On Wednesday, July 9, the morning news brought about word that Iran had conducted a test firing of missiles as a result of recent "threats" it believes to be receiving from the U.S. and Israel.
Several missiles were tested including the new Shahab-3 missile, which is capable of reaching the Israel region. Tensions between Iran and the U.S. & Israel sparked from suspicion of Iran's Uranium enrichment program for the use of nuclear weapons. Iran's defense is that it is solely using the enrichment program for producing energy. Although world powers have offered negotiations in exchange for the halting of the program, Iran replies that it will continue on because it has the right to do so.
Last month in June, Israel conducted a military exercise in part to display its capability of attacking Iran's nuclear program.
As of now, Iran's President remarks that the country is making all efforts to extend peace. However, tensions between world powers and Iran remain, which we can only hope subsides in the near future and does not escalate into war.
