Big deal.

Israel is more than capable of dealing with anything Iran has or will get in the foreseeable future.

Every little development is not a crisis.

That's Israel's problem. Worry about whether the missiles can hit HERE!
I don't doubt it....Iran postures for it's masses just like US politicians do.

Sanctions are lifted and they gave ground so they have to shore up the "tough guy" with their hardliners.

Iran is allowed to test missiles.

I, for one, would be pleased if the Royal Family was ousted so long as we did not try to do anything about it. As I said elsewhere on this Forum we should remove our military from the entire area and let the Arabs get on with their War Against Everyone.
Yep. Iran is run by fundamentalist, but is not an irrational actor. They will not be launching any attack against Israel so long as Israel doesn't do a preemptive strike against their nuclear facilities. Oh, wait, thanks to the treaty those facilities aren't producing nuclear weapon materials so there's no reason for Israel to threaten a strike.

Which was how asinine the idiot Obama's deal with Iran was!
There is no such thing as "a threat from the United States".

We are in 100% agreement on this. The middle east has been nothing but a cauldron of hatred and mindless violence for thousands of years. It has shown zero indication of maturing within the past century. The US should remove all personnel and equipment from the region ASAP.

Let it bleed.

I don't hate jews and I didn't get that from Desert's post either. They simply called it for what it is. Israel's problem.
Israel has sold us out on a number of occasions as well as thumbed their collective noses at our generosity.
It is actually OUR problem. We made the deal.

Relax.

Any missile Iran could fire at Israel or Europe would be knocked out by America's Navy.

"He would not specify the rules of engagement for the laser, but indicated the Navy is ready to use the weapon to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles."

Commander: US Navy Won

All's well.

BTW, the Aegis system would also intercept anything the N Koreans might decide to launch.

FYI...

Default Do you guys read newspapers?

Iran has put satellites in orbit for years, now. Covering the roughly one thousand miles between Tehran and Tel Aviv is child's play compared to that - Iran has in fact been able to do so since at least 2003.

The Qadr missile became operational in 2008, so you may want to redirect your ire?

The deal has just made it very much harder for the Iranians to develop a nuke for their existing missiles, and that's not a bad thing. Even if you hate President Obama with the fury of a thousand suns.

Now Iran is Threatening To walk away from the Nuclear Deal....They got their money, sanctions lifted. Why should they follow Obozo and Botox Kerry's retarded nuclear agreement?

There is nothing to "walk away from" -- they never signed anything, they have their Frozen Money from the USA, they have to sanctions relief. They openly claim the US is their "main enemy".

Who thinks it's just an Amazing Coincidence that Iran is firing these Missiles just as Joe Biden lands in Israel?
