Iran test fired a new surface-to-surface missile today and broadcast video of the launch. The words “Ya Mahdi” were written on the side of the missile, a reference to Imam Mahdi, one of the 12 imams of Shiite Islam.

Iran has successfully test-fired a new generation of its longer range surface-to-surface missile using solid fuel, making them more accurate than its predecessors — according to the Iranian defense minister.
