Iran to scrap ballistic missile, concentrate on antiaircraft
Iran has decided to scrap, for the time being, the costly "Shahab-4" ballistic missiles and concentrate on the production of anti-aircraft rockets, according to the international Arabic daily "Al Sharq Al-Awsat". Quoting "highly informed" Iranian military source, Dr. Alireza Noorizadeh, an Iranian journalist attributed the change in the policy concerning the production of missiles to the latest threats by American President George W. Bush against Iran.
Could be they saw what B52s did in Afghanistan and don't want to be daisy-cut. Bush putting pressure on them? That'll never work. Will it?
