The Iranian military successfully tested two new indigenous long-range missiles, including a surface-to-surface missile and an air-to-surface missile, according to its defense minister. The tests come ahead of renewed talks between the P5+1 group of nations and Iran on a permanent deal to curb the latter’s nuclear program. The talks are scheduled to take place in Vienna beginning February 18. Iran and the P5+1 concluded an interim deal in November which was implemented in late January 2014 and is currently ongoing.

According to Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan, one of the missiles tested was a long-range ballistic missile with radar evasion capabilities. “The new generation of long-range ground-to-ground ballistic missile with a fragmentation warhead and the laser-guided air-to-surface and surface-to-surface missile dubbed Bina (Insightful) have been successfully test-fired,” he said. According to Dehqan, “the Bina missile is capable of striking important targets such as bridges, tanks and enemy command centers with great precision.”
