Iran has reported a breakthrough in its intermediate-range missile program. Radical Islamic Iran with nuclear IRBM's is like telling 5 year old children to play with matches in a room full of gasoline.
For the first time, Iran has claimed a capability to develop and produce a missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers. The breakthrough was said to have been part of the enhanced Shihab-3 program, also known as the Shihab-4. "Now we have the power to launch a missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers," former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a leading aide to Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, said.
ahhh just ducky!!"
And experts know that once a country has made such a step, all further steps are accessible." Israeli and U.S. officials said the reference was to Iran's program to develop a series of multi-stage, intermediate- and long-range missiles. The officials said Iran was planning to assemble the Shihab-5 missile, with a range of 5,500 kilometers and the intercontinental Shihab-6, with a range of up to 10,000 kilometers.

In an address to a space and security conference in Teheran, Rafsanjani said the success in extending the range of Iranian missiles marked a watershed in the nation's strategic programs. He said the breakthrough would allow Iran to launch satellites into space. "We have today the ballistic technology and if we had not limited our progress, we would have been even more advanced," Rafsanjani was quoted by the official Iranian news agency, Irna, as saying on Tuesday. "With this ballistic power, we can today speak of an independent satellite launch and we should seek the technology to make our own satellites."
