Iran has reported they are in possession of a new missile that can reach southern Europe. Iran also goes to say that if they are attacked by the USA or Israel, "the world will change". This new missile has much better range than the Shahab-3, which had an 850 mile range. Also in the article, Iran says it plans on launching a satellite into space next year, which could easily be used for military purposes.

"Now we have the power to launch a missile with a 2,000 km (1,250 mile) range," the news agency IRNA quoted influential former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani as saying. "Iran is determined to improve its military capabilities."

"If the Americans attack Iran, the world will change ... they will not dare to make such a mistake," Rafsanjani was quoted as saying in a speech at an exhibition on "Space and Stable National Security."

Tehran says its missiles are for defensive purposes and would be used to counter a possible Israeli or U.S. strike against its nuclear facilities.

This is alarming to me, because it's the first real threatening rederick I've heard from Iran as reported by a viable source (Yahoo News). I think I read on these forums the other day about an Iranian military parade where banners read "Crush America" and "Wipe Israel off the Planet", but i can't remember any specific links about that.

that's right bucko, nothing to worry about.....nothing to see here folks,move along, move along......
Afterall, it's not like they'd be able to acquire any of the hundreds of missing former USSR Nukes to tip their new rockets with hey?
Only 2000klm range?
phooey!
like what can they hit with that besides any location in Israel?
Surely not any NATO bases in Europe!

that's right, you go back to sleep, the world will still be here tomorrow.....maybe

Why do you interpret it as 'threatening' America?
The post clearly states that the arsenal is a defensive deployment.
Why do people so easily, and so seemingly deliberately, misunderstand what is written in plain English?

The answer is very simple: the world is lead by unilateralist loosers.
