"Today, on the second day of the exercise, we fired Zelzals (Quake), Shahabs (Meteors) 1 and 2, and the Ghadr (Power)," a medium-range missile that is a modified version of the Shahab-3, Hajizadeh told state television.
He said the missiles were not a threat to European nations.
"Iran's missiles have a maximum range of 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles) and are designed to reach U.S. targets in the region and the Zionist regime," the official IRNA news agency quoted him as saying.
"The Zionist regime is 1,200 kilometers away from Iran, and we are able to target this regime with our 2,000-kilometer-range missiles from Semnan and Damghan" in central Iran, he said.
"We have the technology to build missiles with a longer range, but we do not need them and we are not seeking to build such missiles," Hajizadeh said.
Iran has said that its latest exercise is not aimed at any country but carries "a message of peace and friendship."
