Iran Test Fires Long-Range Missiles Capable Of Striking Israel, U.S. Bases…

(Haaretz) — Iran’s Revolutionary Guards tested 14 missiles on Tuesday, the second day of war games intended a show of strength to the Islamic Republic’s enemies in Israel and Washington.

The Iranian-made surface-to-surface missiles, with a maximum range of 2,000 km (1,250 miles), were fired simultaneously at a single target, the official IRNA news agency reported.

The head of the Revolutionary Guards’ aerospace division emphasized Iran’s preparedness to strike Israel and U.S. interests in the event of any attack on Iran.

“The range of our missiles has been designed based on American bases in the region as well as the Zionist regime,” Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh told the semi-official Fars news agency.

Washington and Israel have said they do not rule out military strikes on Iran if diplomatic means fail to stop it developing nuclear weapons.

Tehran denies its nuclear program is aimed at building bombs.

IRNA said the Guards fired nine Zelzal missiles, two Shahab-1s, two Shahab-2s and one upgraded Shahab-3 missile.

    Good thing we have that missile shield in Poland & Czech Republic….Oh wait I forgot our moron President traded it for a plastic toy button that was supposed to say “reset” on it in Russian but actually translated to “overcharged”. Uh…think it is about time to get a trade back?

    Breaking news: Putin called “No trade backs!”, we’re screwed. Damn tricksy Russians. Who trusted them in the first place?….oh yeah jackass Barry.

    That’s impressive! I hope NASA doesn’t forget to pat the muzzies on that back.

    I highly doubt this is true. Iran often fires missiles the explode on the pad which are claimed to have hit a moving target 800 miles away….

    maximum range of 2,000 km (1,250 miles)

    Caracas to Miami.

    2,193 km (1,363 miles)

    To damn close for comfort.

    I just read the whole article on Haaretz. Did I miss the part where Iran claimed to have hit the target with any of the 14 missiles? No, I didn’t. Because they didn’t even bother to say they did.

    How long before Israel bombs these savages? It looks more like the nazi build up every day. Back to the 1930′s; but don’t worry America, we have Hussein in the White House.

    Notice how they refuse to say the word ISRAEL– in total denial– because they refuse to acknowledge them as a nation. So in their twisted minds, they hate something that according to them, does not exist. So what do you call somebody that is enraged by something imaginary? PSYCHOTIC.

    While the world snoozes….move along, nothing to see here. But, I, awe, I um, I, Obama have decreed no intervention from Israel (or anyone else), or we’ll get mad and do somethin’. While our Sec State plays with Lady Gaga or some such nonsense. Nevermind our Sec Defence, he’s out to lunch.

    Even with an Islamophile President phoning it in, one of those Iranian missiles launches at one of our bases and the response will be swift and final.

    Go ahead, Tehran…. make my day.

    Impeach the idiot so we can get someone with a set of juevos in office to deal with these crackpots and glass over the region. I mean the ENTIRE region. No little jihadis to deal with later.

    This happen while the one was on the golf course. Nothing important going on in the world or domestically might as well golf the days away.

    oh please, we could probably put a missile right up Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh’s ass, before theirs could even leave the ground. Or more likely, the Commander would wake up one morning and find himself dead, with a Star of David half way through his brain.

    I’m sure the bombers at Diego Garcia would be much obliged to turn Iran into a glass jar.

    In the end there are going to be a bunch of dead people..Iranians if/when Israel bombs their sorry asses and/or some Israelis…….and THEN the whole damn world will be wring their hands and gnashing their and bemoaning in hypocritic horror ” how could this happen ! ” And of course the US will get blamed for not stopping Iran even though now no one wants to stop them !

    Nuclear mateirals/bombs/waste etc in the hands of any islamist = bad news for the west, period. If Iran produces ANY type of radioactive materiel they can cram into an dirty bomb and run it across the southern border, do any of you honestly think they will hesitate to use it???? Does NOT have to be attached to a missle.. While we hesitate with captain stupid ass, they plan..
