(NSI News Source Info) TEHRAN, Iran - July 10, 2008: Iran test-fired nine
long- and medium-range missiles Wednesday during war games that officials said were intended to show the country can retaliate against any U.S. or Israeli attack, state television reported.
The test-firings were widely condemned in the United States, notably by the White House and the two main presidential candidates.
The exercise was being conducted at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which about 40 percent of the world's oil passes. Iran has threatened to shut down traffic in the strait if attacked.
