Oh, and the picture of Iranian missiles firing was photoshoped.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran tested more missiles in the Gulf on Thursday, state media said, and the United States pledged to defend its allies against any Iranian aggression.

Washington, which fears Tehran wants to master technology to build nuclear weapons, said after Iran test-fired nine missiles on Wednesday that Tehran should halt further tests if it wanted to gain the world's trust.

Iran has said missiles fired during wargames under way in the Gulf included ones that could hit Israel and U.S. bases.

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on a visit to the former Soviet republic of Georgia that Washington would defend American interests and those of its allies.

"We take very, very strongly our obligation to help our allies defend themselves and no one should be confused about that," Rice said after meeting Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili.

After Iran's missile tests on Wednesday, Rice suggested its actions justified U.S. plans for an anti-missile shield with bases in eastern Europe, a project Russia strongly opposes.
