Will any missiles, launched from Iran land in another country before May Day 2010?

Background: Vertran HubDubbers will recognize this Q as similar to another one I'd posed previously that resulted in a variety of interpretations. Here are the requirements I'm looking for, for a YES to settle.

1.) Iran fires a missile, from inside it's own land borders, not an accident or a test.
2.) That missile leaves Iranian airspace and lands in another country, not simply going up and landing on Iranian land, no matter high it flies.
3.) Detonation NOT required to settle for yes, merely landing in another country will qualify, splashing down in an ocean will NOT quailfy.

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.

Obama’s Threats Force Iran to Destroy Missiles

(2009-09-27) — President Barack Obama’s tough talk against Iran this week, threatening ’sanctions with bite’ if the regime didn’t ‘come clean’ about its nuclear program, has already produced positive results, the White House said today, forcing the Islamic Republic to begin destroying its short- and long-range missiles.

“When faced with President Obama’s steel-spined rhetoric, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blinked,” said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, referring to the Iranian president. “Less than 48 hours after President Obama’s rebuke, at least two dangerous missiles went up in smoke, with more scheduled for the coming days.”

“While cynics, and the Iranian regime might try to position this action as ‘missile testing’,” Mr. Gibbs said, “the fact remains that these dangerous weapons, which could have carried nuclear payloads, are now gone.”
