| Iran Gets First North Korean-Made Missiles: Israeli intel chief |
| 2006-04-27 |
| Iran has received its first batch of North Korean-made surface-to-surface missiles that put European countries within firing range, Israel's military intelligence chief said in an interview published Thursday. The BM-25 missiles have a range of 1,550 miles and are capable of carrying nuclear warheads, the Haaretz daily reported. Israeli security officials confirmed the Haaretz report. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. Military intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin, who spoke to Haaretz, has warned of the new Iranian missiles in several recent interviews to the media. Iran already has missiles capable of reaching Israel, but the BM-25s are a significant upgrade over its existing top-of-the-line missiles — the Shihab-4 and Shihab-3. Those missiles spurred Israel to develop its Arrow-2 anti-ballistic missile system, which can intercept the Iranian missiles. Iran has also tested several long-range missiles in recent weeks, including a "top secret" missile capable of being fired from helicopters and jet fighters, Iranian state-run television reported. Iran also tested the Fajr-3, a missile it said can avoid radar and hit several targets simultaneously using multiple warheads. Iran also tested what it calls two new torpedoes. |

| #5 You mean American or Western weapons only, as the Left> they can attack, scheme, and destroy us at their leisure, but we = Right + Moders can't do the same because of our "success". Our success justifies their evil(s) - you know, Equalism. Pragmatically, also remember that during the Cold War, many in the Left argued that the USSR, China and Commie Bloc must Must MUST be allowed to have more nukes than NATO or the Western democracies for "self-defense" purposes. |

| #3 Iran Gets First North Korean-Made Missiles: Israeli intel chief prediction: the EUcrats and Greenies will rationalize this with the usual weenie equivalence. "We live under the USA, Brit, French, Russian/USSR, and Chinese warheads too. Destroy all Nuclear weapons Unilaterally NOW" |
