Iran has test-fired two more ballistic missiles, defying a threat of new sanctions from the United States.
The launches on Wednesday morning followed the test-firing of several missiles on Tuesday, which the US State Department said it would raise at the UN Security Council.
The US legislature also said it would push for more unilateral sanctions.
Two months ago, Washington imposed sanctions against businesses and individuals linked to Iran's missile program over a test of the medium-range Emad missile carried out in October 2015.
The two Qadr H missiles were fired from northern Iran on Wednesday hit targets in the southeast of the country 1,400km away, the Fars and Tasnim news agencies said.
"The missiles fired today are the results of sanctions. The sanctions helped Iran develop its missile program," Brigadier General Hossein Salami, deputy commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, was quoted as saying.

The IRGC, a powerful force that reports directly to the supreme leader, is deeply suspicious of the US and its allies. It maintains dozens of short and medium-range ballistic missiles, the largest stock in the Middle East.
Washington fears those missiles could be used to carry a nuclear warhead, even after Iran implemented a nuclear deal with world powers in January that imposes strict limits and checks on its disputed nuclear program.
The US said the fresh missile tests would not violate the Iran nuclear deal itself, under which Tehran would receive relief from economic sanctions.
Iran's missile program is subject to a UN Security Council resolution that calls on the Islamic Republic not to develop missiles designed to be capable of carrying nuclear warheads. Iran says its missiles are solely a conventional deterrent.
