And apparently it was a success:

Iran has tested a new missile using solid-fuel technology that matches the more than 2,000 kilometer (1,280 mile) range of its Shahab-3 rocket, the Islamic republic's defence minister was quoted as saying.

Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani said the test, carried out on Sunday, was "100 percent successful."

Iran has recently upgraded the Shahab-3 ballistic missile, believed to be based on a North Korean design, to have a range of at least 2,000 kilometres -- leaving arch-enemy Israel and US bases in the region well within range.
