On November 2, 2006, Iran fired unarmed missiles to begin 10 days of [[military simulation]]s. Iranian state television reported "dozens of missiles were fired including Shahab-2 and [[Shahab-3]] missiles. The missiles had rangesranged from 300 km to up to 2,000 km. ... Iranian experts have made some changes to Shahab-3 missiles installing cluster [[cluster warhead]]s in them with the capacity to carry 1,400 bombs." These launches come after some [[United States]]-led military exercises in the [[Persian Gulf]] on October 30, 2006, meant to train for blocking the transport of [[weapons of mass destruction]].[<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/11/02/iran.manoeuvres.reut/index.html?section |title=cnn_latest]Iran fires unarmed missiles - CNN.com |website=www.cnn.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061102164032/http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/11/02/iran.manoeuvres.reut/index.html |archive-date=2006-11-02}}</ref>
