| Iran's missiles 'can reach Europe' |
| 2004-10-06 |
| Iran has increased the range of its missiles to 2,000km a senior official was quoted as saying yesterday.The range would put parts of Europe within reach for the first time. Military experts had earlier put Iran's missile range at 1,300km, which would allow it to strike anywhere in Israel."Now we have the power to launch a missile with a 2,000 km range," the news agency Irna quoted former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani as saying. "Iran is determined to improve its military capabilities." "If the Americans attack Iran, the world will change ... they will not dare to make such a mistake," Rafsanjani was quoted as saying in a speech at an exhibition on Space and Stable National Security. In Washington, the US said that Iran's missile programme is a serious threat to the Middle East and US interests which is compounded significantly by its alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons. The State Department, speaking after Iran declared it had ballistic missiles with a range of 2,000km, said Washington would continue to work with other nations to address the concerns. "The United States has had and continues to have serious concerns about Iran's missile programmes," deputy spokesman Adam Ereli said. |

| #14 Iran can hit the East coast of the US today as long as they can arrange for an in-flight refueling service from an EU country. |

| #12 And just who would Iran attack in Europe? France, the U.K., and Russia each have enough nukes to wipe Iran clean off the map. Link. |

| #11 One wonders how quickly sanity will begin to break out in Europe as they take their place under Iran's forthcoming nuclear umbrella. This one wonders how quickly Europe will rush to kiss BlackTurban ass. |

| #10 For Europe the greater good is that Israel will be under the gun. Thank you for telling us the awful truth, dennisw. Spot on observation. Old saying: Better the ugly truth than a beautiful lie. |

| #9 Since we all know that Europe can't help itself when it comes to selling everything but their last set of underwear to anybody who wants it, their only hope is to sell Iran defective guidance and propulsion systems so the missiles go off course. |

| #8 In 10 years, there still would be Israel, but Europe would become Eurabiastan. |

| #7 Europe has no fear of Iranian missiles. For Europe the greater good is that Israel will be under the gun. Iranian missiles and nukes help neuter those pesky Jews in their shitty little country. That's what the Euros see. |

| #5 Europe will just accept being under threat. What else can they do. I don't want to spend one dime defending France and were it not for NATO I would tell Germany, Greece and, Turkey to stuff it too. But the current range of 2000 km doesn't really put much of Europe in range. 3000 km will start to get Europes attention. Until then BBC and Europeans will blame "George Bush the United States and, Israel." Continued caving into and coddling of Iran by Europe will be the way chosen. Expect double dealing from the French in any and every case. |

| #4 ha...it's hard to believe they will be able to pull their heads out of the sand and realize that America has been their steadfast friend - and get over their blame Not much we can do if Iran decides to nuke them. |

| #3 The question is do E.U. leaders fathom the threat Iran's missiles poise to their nations which are now fall under Iran's range? Has Iran already supplied smaller missiles to international Islamic terrorists they either fund or control, or both? That is the global threat all of us are confronted with. |

| #2 Iran's fanatical Islamic leadership is a threat to global security ...right now! Correction: they're a threat to European security right now and a potential threat to global security. One wonders how quickly sanity will begin to break out in Europe as they take their place under Iran's forthcoming nuclear umbrella. |
