'Israel must be wiped out': Iran launches two missiles with threat written on them in Hebrew as the country ignores criticism of its ballistic weapon tests
Ballistic missiles were test-fired in Iran's eastern Alborz mountain range
Claims that the words 'Israel must be wiped out' were written on the side.
Iran has launched two missiles with 'Israel must be wiped out' written on the side in Hebrew as the country continues to ignore criticism over its ballistic weapon tests.
The rockets were test-fired in Iran's eastern Alborz mountain range in a new show of force by the Islamic Republic as US Vice President Joe Biden visited Israel.
Such phrases have been emblazoned on missiles fired before by Iran - but the latest test comes after the country recently signed a nuclear deal with world powers, including America. It also comes a day after the country carried out a similar launch.
Hard-liners in Iran's military have fired rockets and missiles despite US objections since the deal, as well as shown underground missile bases on state television.
There was no immediate reaction from Jerusalem, where Biden was scheduled to speak to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who strongly opposed the nuclear deal.
The Fars news agency offered pictures on Wednesday it said were of the Qadr H missiles being fired.
It said they were fired to hit a target some 870 miles (1,400 km) away off Iran's coast into the Sea of Oman. The U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, which patrols that region, declined to comment on the test.
Fars quoted Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard's aerospace division, saying the test was aimed at showing Israel that Iran could hit it.
'The 2,000km (1,240 mile) range of our missiles is to confront the Zionist regime,' Hajizadeh said. 'Israel is surrounded by Islamic countries and it will not last long in a war. It will collapse even before being hit by these missiles.'
Israel's Foreign Ministry declined to immediately comment. Iran has threatened to destroy Israel in the past.

Iran won't compromise on its defense capabilities
Iran has once again defended its recent missile tests, vowing to push ahead with its missile program.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hossein Jaberi Ansari says the Islamic Republic will never compromise on its security and defense capabilities. According to Jaberi Ansari, Iran will continue its "legitimate missile program" but will not design projectiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons. On Wednesday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps test fired two ballistic missiles with a range of two-thousand kilometers during military exercises. Jaberi Ansari has stressed that the missile launches neither violate Iran’s nuclear deal nor the UN Security Council resolution 2231 that endorsed it.
IRAN MILITARY NUCLEAR BALLISTIC MISSILE LAUNCH SILO
According to reports from Iran, two missile warheads with nuclear capability have been delivered to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Based on reports received by the Green Experts of Iran, the range of the missiles, produced by the Ministry of Defense Industries, has also been boosted and can now travel a distance of 2,000 miles. Simultaneously, a joint military-industrial project with Iran, Pakistan, China and the Ukraine has begun to produce nuclear warheads, including the first manufactured nuclear-capable warheads. These are now in the possession of the Revolutionary Guards.
The Ukrainians provided the design for the warheads, while the Chinese and Pakistanis delivered the technology, machining and tooling. The Iranian Ministry of Defense coordinated the interface with all three.
Recently, the U.S. warned the Pakistani government that further cooperation with the Iranian nuclear industries would result in various members of the Pakistani political and military ranks being added to the list of the internationally sanctioned. The U.S. has previously sanctioned several companies from China and the Ukraine for providing material aid to the weapons of mass destruction program in Iran. Also, reports from last October revealed that the Obama administration concluded that Chinese firms were helping Iran with the improvement of its missile technology and the development of nuclear weapons, and asked China to stop such activity.
Reports from the Iranian Green experts indicate that the technical and laboratory departments of the Amir Kabir and Shaheed Beheshti Universities in Iran also participated in this collaborative effort. According to the agreement between the Revolutionary Guards and the Ministry of Defense, eight more nuclear warheads will be produced and delivered to the IRGC within the next ten months. A number of the missiles have also been developed in cooperation between the defense industries and the Esfahan Industrial University.
The same report pointed out that the missiles are directed toward several potential and pre-designated targets, among them: U.S. military bases in the Middle East and in Europe, such as the ones in Hungary and Italy.
It is also stated that the nuclear and military industries in Iran are scheduled to weaponize at least two of the warheads with a nuclear payload no later than March, 2012.
Other sources in Iran also verified the delivery of the warheads. On February 17th of this year when Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, the Chief Commander of the Guards, promised the Guards forces that "in the near future we will witness the 'miraculous project,' which will shock the world," he was indeed referring to the fact that the Revolutionary Guards will be armed with nuclear weapons. This has been authorized by Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Last year I disclosed that Iran had obtained missiles capable of reaching capitals in Western Europe. Several months later, WikiLeaks releases about Iran revealed that the Revolutionary Guards had obtained a cache of advanced missiles from North Korea capable of carrying nuclear warheads. With a range of 2000 miles, they give Iran the capacity to strike the capitals of Western Europe and can easily reach Moscow.
The Guards have now successfully expanded their missile program and its reach to 2,000 miles or 3,200 kilometers. They accomplished this using reverse engineering on the North Korean missiles — the same process the Guards used to produce cruise missiles when the Ukraine illegally sold them their Kh-55 cruise missiles, said to have a range of up to 3000 kilometers and capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
