IRAN ANNOUNCES SHIHAB-3 UPGRADE |
2003-12-16 |
From Middle East Newsline NICOSIA [MENL] -- Iran has announced plans to upgrade the Shihab-3 intermediate-range missile. They are asking for a wack. Iranian officials said the upgrade project would replace previous plans to develop the longer-range Shihab-4. But officials said the range of the Shihab-3 would also be extended. "We will be optimizing our Shihab-3 instead," acting Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan said. "Such allegations [of developing the Shihab-4] are part of the U.S. and Israeli psychological war against the Islamic Republic." Dehghan was quoted in the Iranian daily Siyasat-e-Rouz as saying that Iran would not build the Shihab-4. The defense minister did not elaborate on what he meant by optimizing the Shihab-3. Mabye the Shihab-3+1? The Black Turbans won’t stop until they become a crater somewhere. |
