Iran Tests Solid-Fuel Rocket Engine
(New York Times) Iranian Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani said Tuesday that Iran had successfully tested a solid-fuel motor for its medium-range Shihab-3 ballistic missile, raising concerns that it could reach American forces in the region and Israel with more precision. "With solid fuel, a missile can be stored for years. And in addition, it makes the missile more accurate and cheaper," he said.
