Iran: We Have Developed a Missile that Can Reach Israel
By Ariella Mendlowitz May 9, 2016
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their due reward from Me, saith the LORD.” Isaiah 54:17 (The Israel Bible™)
A senior Iranian official revealed on Monday that the country successfully tested a precision-guided, medium-range ballistic missile, that can easily reach Israel, two weeks ago, the country-run news agency Tasnim reported.
Brigadier General Ali Abdollahi told participants at a Tehran science conference, “We test-fired a missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) and a margin of error of eight meters.” This eight-meter margin means “full accuracy”, Abdollahi said.
The general went on to reveal that 10 percent of Iran’s defense budget, a substantial sum following the dropping of sanctions earlier this year as a result of the landmark nuclear deal, has been allocated to “research projects aimed at strengthening defense power.”
Iran’s capabilities could spell trouble for the regime’s enemies, a possibility that has aroused international concern. The United States as well as other Western countries have insisted that the Islamic Republic’s missiles threaten anyone in the Middle East who fall within the range of Iranian rockets.
Arguably, the country most at risk of coming under Iranian fire in the region is Israel. Iran’s tenacious animosity towards Israel often makes headlines worldwide. Making sensitive matters worse, Tehran’s clerical rulers continuously refuse to recognize the Jewish state.
Reassurances that the rocket was created purely for defense purposes notwithstanding, should the Iranian military ever decide to launch the missile, Israel would easily be within range.
