A US official said that Iran fired a defensive surface-to-air missile (SAM) on Wednesday, CNN reports.
The missile used in Wednesday's launch was a short-range Mersad surface-to-air missile, which impacted 35 miles away, according to a US official. The missile was launched from the same pad that Iran used to conduct its failed medium-range missile test earlier this month.
The US Department of Defense declined to comment this news. "We don't have any additional information," Pentagon spokesman Christopher Sherwood said.
