Iran tests new missile as EU pursues talks on standoff

EU's Solana holds talks with Iran on nuclear stalemate

AFP, Brussels, Tehran
Iran yesterday successfully test fired an anti-ship missile as EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana spoke with Iran's top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili on the standoff overTehran's nuclear programme.
"No enemy vessels would be able to escape it within a 300-kilometre radius from the borders of Iran," the commanderoftheelite Revolutionary Guards, General Mohammad Ali Jafari, said on state television.
The anti-ship missile, with a range of 300 kilometres, has been developed with homegrown technology so far unused by any other
country, Iranian authorities said.
"The weapon has been developed entirely using domestic technology and according to our information so far no country has used this technology before," Jafari said.
EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana meanwhile spoke by phone with Iran's top nuclear negotiator.
"The conversation took place and Solana will report on it to the representatives of the group of six," powers involved in the talks -Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States -- a Solana spokesman told AFP.
The spokesman gave no details on theconversationorhowlongthe
two men talked.
The United States had demanded that Iran meet a weekend deadline to respond to an international package of incentives aimed at persuading Tehran to freeze uranium enrichment amid warnings of new sanctions.
But an EU diplomat sard on Friday: "If it's in 16 days instead of 14 it's not a problem. We are not obsessed with a date."
In Tehran earlier, new foreign ministry spokesman Hassan Ghashghavi told reporters that Iran would hold talks with Solana on Monday.
In the past Iran has often boasted
of developing new weapons systems only to be met with scepticism from Western defence analysts.
Jafari said that Iran's arsenal meant it could easily close the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic waterway through which much of the world's oil supplies pass on their way out of the Gulf.
Washington has never ruled out a resort to military action over what it charges is Tehran's effort to develop a nuclear weapon.
Iran insists it wants to develop nuclear power for civilian purposes only in the knowledge that its huge oil and gas reserves will eventually runout.
