Iranians Continuing to Play with Their…… Missiles, Warning Sarkozy?…….
“Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Iran has successfully test-fired a new version of its Fateh missile, which has a longer range than previous models, Iranian news agencies reported Wednesday. The Fateh-110 was designed by Iranian scientists and is also more accurate than older versions, Brig. Gen. Ahmad Vahidi, Iran's defense minister, told state-run Press TV and the semi-official Fars news agency. It wasn't immediately clear whether the Fateh-110 is a short- or medium-range missile. Press TV reported it is 9 meters (29.5 feet) long and weighs 3,500 kilograms (7,716 pounds). Vahidi claimed that the production of the missile was "another victory in the field of defense and technology, and was another example of busting the sanctions and getting rid of them," Fars quoted him as saying……..”
A lot of talk and show about missiles and new weapons systems. No doubt the sanctions have forced the Iranians to develop their own weapons systems, forced them to become mostly independent in that field. But all the daily barrage of news has a feeling of urgency, like they are warning someone, trying to deter a coming attack. Perhaps they are warning France’s Sarkozy.
