Iran shows missiles amid Israel tension

by James Tweedie

IRAN showed off its new ballistic missiles yesterday after the Israeli defence minister accused the Syrian government of letting Tehran and Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah use its territory to launch attacks on Israel.

The missiles used to hit Isis targets in eastern Syria this week — with permission from the governments of Syria
and Iraq, whose airspace they crossed — were on display
at the annual al-Quds (Jerusalem) day parade against
zionism.
