| Quote: | The Iranian Revolutionary Guards have successfully test-fired a Shahab-3 missile, whose range puts it within reach of Israel, state media have said.
The missile, said to have a range of 2,000 km (1,240 miles), was one of nine fired from an undisclosed desert site.
Two other types of missile with shorter ranges were also fired as part of the Great Prophet III war games.
It comes amid rising tensions between Iran and the US and Israel over Iran's nuclear programme.
"We are ready to defend the integrity of the Iranian nation," said Hossein Salami, head of the Guards' air force. |

Yep.... The Israeli Lobby (U.S. President and Congress) threaten to obliterate Iran and then when the Iranians finally realize that we're just nuts enough to start WW3, we run around like frightened schoolgirls when they fire off a couple missiles.
Well, we had the opportunity to elect Ron Paul... instead, we stuffed our heads up our posterior and chose Obama and Grandpa McCain.

The Iranians have had fully operational Shahab-3's for several years now. While it's an interesting news piece, I wouldn't really classify the weapon system as "new".
