The results of recent Iranian missile tests prove that US plans for a defence shield in Europe are unnecessary, says Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
He said the tests confirmed Tehran had missiles with a limited range of up to 2,000km (1,240 miles), meaning the US system was not needed.
Iranian media said missiles tested this week included one that can hit Israel.
The US says it wants to build the shield in Poland and the Czech Republic to defend allies from rogue nations.
