#1 Iran seems to forget about a little system called Arrow and the much improved Patriot batteries there as well.

They can AIM anywhere in Israel, whether the munition actually gets there is a different question.

And they do have a finite set of missles.

#2 wouldn't be surprised if we have several anti-missile batteries just inside the Iraq-Iran borders as well.... boost phase radar acquisition?

#3 Perhaps I'm being ignorant, but when Israel's anti-missile missiles knock Iran's missiles out of the air, won't they land on brotherly Arab territory? Or, if they explode Iran's in mid-air, won't the fall-out again land on Arab territory?

#4 Very possibly Iraq. Wonder how we would treat an incursion of Iraqi airspace by Iranian vehicles. That's why the mullahs are all turban no crude.

#5 Eh, The last time I checked we have missiles that can hit anywhere in the world, and we have a lot more of them than the uptight mullahs in Tehran.

#6 A senior Iranian military official said Sunday Israel and the United States would not dare attack Iran since it could strike back anywhere in Israel with its latest missiles, news agencies reported.

Go ahead, attack Israel, and you'll rue the day the idea ever popped into your pointy little heads.
