International media is reporting that Iran test-fired two ballistic missiles during military drills from the East Alborz Heights in the northern part of the country on Wednesday.
According to reports, the missiles -- Qadr-H and Qadr-F -- were fired by Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
The Qadr-H missile has a range of 1,700 kilometers, while the Qadr-F missile has a range of about 2,000 kilometers.
The IRGC missile drills being undertaken in different parts of the country are aimed at sending a message across that Iran has the deterrent power to counter possible external and internal threats.
Meanwhile, according to the Xinhua news agency, the United States has said Iran's recent ballistic missile tests do not violate an international nuclear agreement.
