Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran official: Only 7 minutes needed for missile to hit Tel Aviv
2017-02-06
[IsraelTimes] Mojtaba Zonour threatens attack on Israel if US launches military strike on Islamic Theocratic Republic.
Of course for 6.95 minutes the missile will be over Iran itself or a brotherly Arab country, meaning the thing will kill Muslims rather than Jews when Israel's countermissiles knock them aside or blow them up short of the target.

#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.

#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

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

#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. ;)

#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?
