Iran tests missiles to show 'deterrence power'
Iran fired ballistic missiles Tuesday as part of drills to show the Middle Eastern country's "deterrence power," Iran's Revolutionary Guard said, according to state news.
The Revolutionary Guard said the missile tests exhibit Iran's "full readiness to confront all kinds of threats against the Revolution, establishment and territorial integrity."
Tuesday's Press TV report characterized the firing of missiles from "silo-based launchers" around Iran as "the final stage of large-scale missile drills."
It also referenced a test last October of a new precision-guided, long-range missile known as the Emad -- a liquid-propelled rocket with a 1,050-mile (1,700-kilometer) range -- which would put it within reach of longtime Iranian nemeses Israel and Saudi Arabia.
The developing technology has stirred fears Iran could fit the missiles with nuclear warheads, weaponry that Tehran insists it does not possess.
Yet, according to Press TV, Defense Minister Hossein Dehqan has stated the Emad missile is a conventional weapon.
And Foreign Minister Javad Zarif -- while defending Iran's right to carry out missile tests -- has insisted the country doesn't have any missiles that could carry nuclear warheads.
till, there's hardly a guarantee that skeptical rivals will accept Iran's assurances that its military "poses no threat to other countries," as Press TV claimed.
Just look back to what happened last fall, when Iran's missile tests spurred the U.S. Treasury Department's to levy sanctions against "11 entities and individuals involvement in procurement on behalf of Iran's ballistic missile program."
Ironically, this announcement happened around the same time that broader, international sanctions related to Tehran's nuclear program were lifted -- a move widely seen as a sign of Iran becoming more open and less adversarial with others around the world, including countries in the West

when Iran finally nukes Israel, how many lefties are going to celebrate?
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

won't happen.
but the region doesn't need another arms race either.
It's more about Iranian super-power status at this point. Maybe not on par with China/Russia but far more powerful then anyone else.
SA can hold on for awhile, but simply does not have the resources, abilities that Iran does. And with Russia now part of the Shi'a crescent....

None. The deaths amongst the indigenous Palestinians would be catastrophic.

OK, so nobody in their right mind would attack Iran then. Peace reigns- job done.

from Iran's self interest/perspective, what is there to gain by using nukes?
They are becoming an economic and regional super-power. Why upset that? Of course they can use the threat of nukes..
as more blackmail..
Nations act in their own self interest -so called realpolitik - look at the world that way, and you can see their true motivations

the right hates them
that is all the reason they need
they are the sociopathic party of racists

MAD for the Mideast?
(mutual assured destruction)...ya probably.. the only caveat is apocalyptic Islam ( Sunni or Shi'a) and the region is inherently on a hair trigger.
But I tend to agree this is (yet more) Iranian power projection..not for right away, but it's a pretty clear sign they want nukes.

you're talking about hateful fanatics, why wouldn't the destruction of Israel be in their interests?

they would be nuked by Israel if they launched an attack -where does that get them?
They are way ahead of the game now; their new Russian alliance has them well on the way to recreating much of the Persian empire-
if not by conquest, then by proxy states.
