**Iran has tested two short-range missiles during a military exercise, Iranian state television reports.**It said the missiles fired were of the Tondar and Fateh 110 type. A multiple missile launcher was also tested.
Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards announced on Saturday it would hold several days of military exercises over the next several days.
The move is likely to further increase tensions between Iran and the West over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
Earlier this week, Iran disclosed that it was building a second uranium enrichment plant.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad insisted that the plant, near the holy city of Qom, was being built in line with UN regulations. He also said it was open for inspection by UN experts.
Leaders of the US, Britain and France have accused Iran of building a new plant in breach of UN rules.
They raised the prospect of new, tough sanctions against Iran if it does not fully co-operate with global powers.
