Some how I doubt the Iranians really care about anything the White House says about their missile testing:

Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell today expressed concern over Iran’s reported test-fire yesterday of a medium-range missile, saying it undermines Tehran’s claim of peaceful intentions regarding its nuclear program.

Morrell said Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates has seen the intelligence on the launch, which reportedly involved a Sajjil-2 rocket that has the range to hit Israel and U.S. bases in the Persian Gulf.

“This is just the latest in a series of provocative actions by Iran, all seemingly oblivious to the scrutiny of the international community, or perhaps more likely, in spite of it,” Morrell told Pentagon reporters today.

The test-fire comes after President Barack Obama last month underscored that the government in Tehran must provide assurances to the international community that Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful and transparent.  [Def Pros]

For those wondering the Sajjil-2 is a solid fuel missile with a range of approximately 1,200 miles (1,930 km).  Solid fuel missiles are important to note because they can be more easily moved around and launched because you don’t have to worry about fueling the missile before launch.  This was the third test of the Sajjil-2 since this past May.  So it is pretty clear that the Iranians are committed to getting this missile developed as quickly as possible no matter what international criticism they may receive.

This image gives a pretty good indication of how far this missile can reach:

As you can see this missile can easily range Israel.
