TEHRAN, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) unveiled two new ballistic missiles at a demonstration in Tehran commemorating Quds Day, according to the semi-official Mehr news report.

The "Emad-3" missile is a new version of Iran's Emad surface-to-surface ballistic missiles that was demonstrated by the IRGC on Friday.

Emad-3 is Iran's first wholly indigenous long-range missile with the capacity to be guided and controlled until it strikes the target, according to the report. It was developed by the IRGC's Aerospace Force.  The other missile is the solid-fueled "Kheibar Shekan," which is part of the third generation of domestically built long-range missiles with a range of 1,450 kilometres.
According to the report, the tactical missile is capable of hitting a target with great agility and speed, as well as breaching missile shields with great mobility.

Quds Day is an annual ceremony held in Iran and numerous Arab nations on the last Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan to support the Palestinian cause.
