Iran: We'll introduce missile against Iron Dome
As European oil embargo kicks in, Tehran announces three-day surface-to-surface missile drill. Revolutionary Guards general: We'll soon launch missile that can hit Iron Dome defense systemGen. Ami Ali Hajizadeh, chief of the Revolutionary Guards' airspace unit, added that Iran will soon introduce a new missile that can also penetrate the Iron Dome missile defense system, threatening that if Israel plans any attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, "They will provide us a reason to remove Israel from the earth." He said Israel is not capable of attacking Iran "since it was defeated by Hezbollah" in 2006. However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... in a conflicting report, Fars new agency quoted Hajizadeh as saying that the range of the new missile is only 300 kilometers. Iran has reportedly a few hundred surface-to-surface missiles with a range of approximately 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles), which can reach Israel, southern Europe and other states in the Persian Gulf, where US maintains military bases.
