Now the Shahab-3 (translation: Meteor-3) will be able to hit Israel. There are a couple of great quotes from this article:

Iran says its missile program is purely for deterrent purposes. Tehran also denies U.S. and Israeli accusations that it is seeking to develop nuclear warheads which could be delivered by the Shahab-3.

And shortly thereafter...

"If Israel behaves like a lunatic and attacks the Iranian nation's interests, we will come down on their heads like a mallet and break their bones," the ISNA students news agency quoted Revolutionary Guards Commander Yahya Rahim Safavi as saying on Wednesday.

In other news, George Bush removed Iran from the "Axis of Evil" and added them to the "Axis of Cartoon Violence". This is also pretty interesting:

Six of the sand-colored missiles, bearing slogans which said "We will stamp on America" and "We will wipe Israel from the face of the earth," were displayed at an annual military parade last September.

love it, hate it, there's more of it at pacetown.
