July 9 (Bloomberg) -- Iran test-fired a long-range missile capable of reaching Israel as part of war games today, Agence France-Presse reported, citing state television channel Al-Alam.

The missile fired by Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps was ``a Shahab 3 with a conventional warhead weighing 1 ton and a 2,000-kilometer (1,240-mile) range,'' the Arabic language channel said, according to AFP.

Several other missiles were also fired in the military maneuvers, it said.
