Iranian state media today said the military has successfully test-fired Shahab and Sejil missiles, which are capable of reaching much of the Middle East, including Israel and American bases in the Gulf. The move comes just days after revelations of a secret nuclear enrichment program, and just days before multi-party talks on Iran’s nuclear program that will involve the United States. Later today, Anchor Jeb Sharp will speak with Charles Duelfer, a former US intelligence officer and weapons inspector. (AP Photo/Fars News Agency, Ali Shaigan)
