Iran test fires missiles amid flap over nukes

Iran completed a series of short-range missile firing texts to demonstrate a show of power to any other countries considering military threats against it. This show of power came only days after the warning by the U.S. and its allies to Iran about their nuclear program. While the missiles are not the type that could carry a nuclear warhead, the potential is still there. Many consider the timing of the testing to be a show of force in the face of the international committee, and particularly the U.S. After strong recommendations on the subject, Iran has agreed to allow the U.N. to inspect their nuclear facilities this Saturday
