Iran- Ballistic missiles breakthrough

From the Jerusalem Post

Iran announced Tuesday it had successfully tested a new solid fuel missile motor for its arsenal of medium-range ballistic missiles, a technological breakthrough that sparked fresh alarm in Israel.

"It was a test of a motor and not a test of a missile," a defence ministry official told AFP, clarifying earlier reports in the Iranian press that a missile itself was tested on Sunday.


Gee, I wonder why Israel should be alarmed. If they are able at some future point to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles, I guess the rest of us will alarmed by then. Iran wants us to trust them about the nuclear program they are following.

It is alarming although there is still a very long way from having a missile to having a precise guiding system.
Even the Soviets had never mastered this bit.
Still no fun, no fun at all.
