File under: Govt of Iran

#1 The last time "Missiles rained in" from Saddam, the US coerced Israel to stand down and be patient, while the US reacted (presumable to keep Israel from going Nuclear). I wonder if that would repeat under Trump?

#4 Considering the Jericho III missile has a range of 6,000 miles (Tehran is only a little over 1,000 miles from the Negev) and it can pepper multiple targets with independent warheads...

I would be more concerned with "How Many" rather than how fast. ;)

#5 Somehow I doubt the Donald would get annoyed if Israel defends itself.

#7 frank's comment got me thinking

if Zonour meant that Iran had sufficiently advanced missiles in south Lebanon and reliable people to launch them, the 7 minute threat would be within practicability

#8 Fine. After they push the button, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor for an hour and 53 minutes before our missiles reach Iran.
