a. Emad
b. Shahab-3
c. Shaheen
d. None of the above

ANSWER: Emad
 
Iran has tested a guided long range ballistic missile in what is possibly a violation of the nuclear agreement in July between Iran and world powers. Missile may violate terms of agreement arrived at in Vienna with 6 nations that placed restrictions on the ambitious missile programme of Iran. New missile Emad or pillar is a step up from Shahab-3 as it can be guided to the target. The country has produced missiles which can reach as far as Europe. As per the nuclear agreement, a heavy water plant in Arak will be redesigned into a light water reactor.
