Iran's new surface to surface missile, Qiam 1 (Rising), has been successfully test fired, the country's Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi says.

"Being a new class of Iranian missiles, Qiam 1 has been equipped with new technical specifications and exceptional tactical powers," the general said during this week's Friday prayers in Tehran.

"Qiam 1 is part of the new generation of the Islamic Republic's surface to surface missiles with liquid fuel and completely designed and built domestically," General Vahidi noted.

He explained that the missile is equipped with a smart navigation system, which decreases the possibility of it being targeted by other projectiles.

Vahidi added that the liquid-fuel missile's launch time is low due to its smart targeting system. "It enjoys enhanced agility due to the scrapping of its fins."

"The missile can hit targets with high precision," the general noted.

Vahidi did not however disclose the location of the test.

“We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren’t punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That’s war. And this is war.” - Ann Coulter

Six o’clock - TV hour. Don’t get caught in foreign towers.
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.

Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting.
Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.

Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.

Watch your heel crush, crushed. Uh oh this means no fear cavalier.
Renegade steer clear! A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.

Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, and I decline.

It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.

It’s the end of the world as we know it

Something in a report about this missile hit me like a ton of bricks. The words “Ya Mahdi” were written on the side of the missile, referring to Imam Mahdi

Ahmadinejad means business!
