Iran has once again tested a mid-range ballistic missile in an apparent breach of United Nations Security Council resolutions forbidding them from doing so, according to Fox News.
“Iran has carried out a new medium-ranged ballistic missile test, and that missile they say, is capable of carrying a nuclear weapon,” Shepherd Smith announced Monday afternoon. “This is a breach of not one but two U.N. Security Council resolutions.”
U.S. officials told the news organization on Sunday the test was held Nov. 21 in the port city of Chabahar near the country’s southern border with Pakistan. The missile test occurred at a well-known site by the Gulf of Oman.
The missile, called the Ghadr-110, has a range up to 1,200 miles and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
Lovely…watch out Israel.
The blessed St. Leiibowitz would not be surprised.
Not sure what everybody is getting concerned about…..I mean, after all, climate change is the greatest threat. Every “smart” person knows that.
I have read that just prior to the First World War, there was a general sense that it was coming. Everyone knew something big was about to happen, they just didn’t know where it would start. It’s like being surrounded by mountains in avalanche conditions, knowing any slope could go at any moment but not knowing which one, and once one goes the sound will trigger a whole bunch more.
I think we’re there now. It could be another American civil war, it could be Russia invading over the pole, it could be a Muslim attack that kills a Western national leader, it could be a collapse in the Chinese economy … there’s bubbles all over just ready to burst.
I wonder what obomba thinks of the ‘unexpected’ turn of events.
is it a ‘how dare they renege after making promises’ or is it more
hmmm. jeepers, didnt see that coming. oh well, my term will be over before they might use the missiles so I don’t own it.
you can be very very certain all those 300 Israeli fighter-bomber delivered nukes have been thoroughly inventoried and the pilots assigned to their targets and the ground crews have their cell phones at the ready at all times. rest assured if the iranians let loose missiles @ the only democracy in the M.E. they will they WILL pay a horrendous price. ALL their cities WILL be hit, ALL their oil infrastructure WILL be hit every last scrap of their islamist shythole WILL become a radioactive ditch.
you have to kill the bullies. it is the only language they understand, the only thing that works instantly, completely and permanently. kill all of them. every last one of them. japan was smart enough to realize what they were in for and you could set your watch to how fast they signed the documents in tokyo bay. the precedent is set, the need is there, the message is clear. fcuk with Israel and you WILL perish. this is true since biblical times.
The world sits by as Iran goes about it’d business of building the big boomer, the UN is a club of despots and dictators and useless tits.
Wait – I thought they signed the deal and everything? Should be a rock solid agreement, right? ……You, you mean they didn’t sign? Really? You mean Lurch couldn’t even manage to have the mullahs put a single measly John Hancock on the deal? Fo reel?
Why not. They have a sleeper cell in the w house.
1200 km – time to verify some numbers on Google maps. Israel is barely in range, but they’re only half the way to Greece, about a third the way to Rome (the Vatican) or a quarter the way to Paris.
Gee, I wonder who they’ll hit first. And what the response will be. I know that Tehran, Mecca, Medina, and Riyadh will all disappear with the counterstrike, but who else?
Iran would have had to inform the US it was doing a test at the time, in order to avoid the US shooting it down. No one does unannounced ballistic missile tests.
Joey, I will bet the climate will really change if these jerks start lobing nukes at Israel.
Let’s not forget the one positive in all this – there is one country in the world willing to tell the UN to pound sand.
So let’s give Iran credit for that at least.
“Mecca, Medina,” C-miner
Now you are thinking, just have to insure Trump gets the message. The total destruction
of religious artifacts. It would not hurt if they retaliated by targeting the Pope!
(The Pope & the UN agenda) We could fake a Mecca attack & they take out the Pope first.
C-minor….that’d be 1200 miles, which is slightly greater than 1200KM
Robert.. you kidding us ain’t cha:-)))
NME – yes, noticed that after posting. minor face-palm moment, just means that all of Israel is in range, and other targets are closer (but not achievable yet).
1950’s super power overthrows democratic Iranian gov’t
1950’s superpower installs a dictator
1970’s dictator overthrown
1980’s superpower arms neighbour who attacked Iran without cause with WMDs
1980’s superpower shoots down Iranian airliner
2000’s superpower invades neighbour based on a lie about WMDs
2000’s superpower continues to threaten Iran
yep….I’d build nukes too.
