Iranians test long-range missile

**Iran has test-fired its long-range Shahab-3 missile, the country’s state TV has reported.**The launch comes one day after the elite Revolutionary Guards test-fired short and medium range missiles.

The Shahab-3 has a range of about 2,000km, potentially putting Israel and American bases in the Gulf within range, analysts say.

Iran is shortly due to hold key talks with major powers on its controversial nuclear programme.
