TEHRAN, Iran - Iran on Friday test-fired three new sea missiles in the Persian Gulf, saying the United States should not conduct further military exercises in the area.

Iranian state television broadcast footage of the Revolutionary Guards firing naval-warfare missiles with a range of just more than 100 miles. It was the second consecutive day Iran announced the development and test firing of missiles during its own military maneuvers.

The tests and exercises came only days after the United States conducted naval maneuvers in the Gulf, and as U.N. Security Council members wrangle over what steps to take against Iran for ignoring its call to cease uranium enrichment - a key step in making nuclear bombs.
