July 9, 2008 Iran appears contradictory with aggressive missile testing Play video

(NECN/ABC) - State television in Iran is reporting that the country's revolutionary guard fired nine missiles in response to U.S. and Israeli threats.

The missiles, a series of long and medium range weapons, were test-fired in the Persian Gulf. They have the capability to reach Israeli and U.S. bases in the region.

The test comes less than a day after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he sees no possibility of a war with the United States.
