In response to the Iranian firing of a ballistic missile on Shabbos, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman responded by explaining Iran is testing Israel�s response.

Lieberman was quoted telling Yisrael Hayom that this is part of Iran�s ongoing effort to become a world power.

Iran on Shabbos tested a mid-range ballistic missile capable of carrying four warheads and traveling 1,250 miles, placing both Israel and US military bases in Saudi Arabia in range.
