Interesting comments in this thread as if to suggest any strike against Israel would not bring a significant response from the United States along with the U.S. allies who are also not exactly "friends" of Iran. Funny these notions that Iran would not realize the same and/or that somehow such a missile strike by Iran -- anywhere -- would not be a good idea, not if Iran wants to avoid going the way of Iraq -- dismantled.

Still, I remain very curious if Iran's missile testing is not allowed according to the recent agreements to contain Iran's nuclear program.

I suspect not, since lots of countrys have missiles that do not have a nuclear program. Unfortunately, too many have both, which is also Iran's problem...

You're either lying or very poorly informed.

Couple of choice quotes:

Quote:
On 13 and 14 February 2016, 20 metric tonnes of heavy water was verified and
sealed by the Agency in preparation for its shipment out of Iran.
Quote:
Since Implementation Day, all stored centrifuges and associated infrastructure have remained in
storage under continuous Agency monitoring (paras 29, 47, 48 and 70). The Agency has continued to
have regular access to relevant buildings at Natanz, including all of FEP and the Pilot Fuel Enrichment
plant (PFEP), and performed daily access upon Agency request
Quote:
Since Implementation Day, Iran has provided to the Agency declarations of Iran’s production
and inventory of centrifuge rotor tubes and bellows and permitted the Agency to verify these
(para. 80.1). The Agency has conducted continuous monitoring...
Quote:
Iran has continued to permit the Agency to use on-line enrichment monitors and electronic seals
which communicate their status within nuclear sites to Agency inspectors, and to facilitate the
automated collection of Agency measurement recordings registered by installed measurement devices
(para. 67.1). Iran has issued long-term visas to Agency inspectors designated for Iran as requested and
provided proper working space for the Agency at nuclear sites and facilitated the use of working space
at locations near nuclear sites in Iran (para. 67.2).

I often wondered back when ahmedinnerjacket was president and all of his rhetoric about Israel being a rotting corpse that needs to be wiped off the face of the earth if he had long range missiles that could actually reach Israel if he'd launch a few nuclear tipped missiles, assuming they had full blown nukes.

I wonder what the worlds' response would be if they sent over a couple of those nukes preemptively. I'd like to think that just about every one of the world's super powers would send a shytload of troops over there and get Iran straightened out. Not that I'm war mongering, just thinking of the worst case scenario and how it would play out.

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.
The threat is to us. Iran has also vowed to wipe out the UK and the US if it gets warheads. Don't be foolish.

Patently UNTRUE and purposeful deception. The radical Iranian regime has been and is one of the most militarly aggressive in the world.

The Iranian regime works often, but far from always, by proxy. From Iraq (where they were responsible for hundreds of American deaths) to Assad to Hezbullah to Hamas to Yemen. The Revolutionary Guards themselves are very active in fighting for Assad and training Hezbullah. The regime has sent billions in arms to the terror gangs and war criminals of the region: Hezbullah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the butcher Assad. The army of Hezbullah is in effect part of the Iranian military. Lebanon is Iranian-occupied.

Agents of Iran are also in Yemen, Bahrain, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Recently they were caught in acts of terrorism in India, Georgia, Thailand, and Azerbaijan and Nepal, Cyprus, Nigeria, and Bulgaria (where they successfully committed a massacre). High Iranian officials, including the "Defense" Minister, and former officials are wanted by Interpol for mass murder in Argentina.

And there is no member of the UN, other than this one, which has dedicated itself to destroying another member state.

Stop the BS about a "peaceful" Iran. They are the most violent and dangerous jihadist regime (and now richest) in the world.

More aggressive than the U.S.?
Let me ask you, do you come out from your bunker on occasion to get sunlight?

That's Israel's problem. Worry about whether the missiles can hit HERE!
You wanna wait that long? Hitler was working on an atomic bomb too. What if FDR was thinking like you back then?

That is not how they "attack" in the 21st century. Heard of Syria, Yemen, Lebanon? That is their version of attacking and it is every bit as destructive. Seems like you have fallen for their propaganda because that is exactly what is coming out of Tehran. In fact, only an Iranian talks like this. You give up a lot when you post.
