Iran test-fires advanced missile

**Iran has successfully test fired a improved version of a medium-range missile, state television has said.**The Sajjil-2 has a longer range than previously tested missiles which could travel 2,000 km, Iran’s Arabic-language television station announced.

That would put Israel and US bases in the Gulf within range.

Correspondents say it is not the first time this missile has been tested, but it is likely to provoke condemnation from the West as a provocative act.
