Iran test-fired another ballistic missile, the latest in a spate of tests following the implementation of the nuclear deal with world powers earlier this year, according to a report Monday by the country's semi-official Tasnim news agency.

The test-firing of the missile, with a range of 2,000 kilometers, or 1,250 miles, was carried out two weeks ago, the agency quoted Gen. Ali Abdollahi, deputy chief of headquarters of armed forces, as saying.

Iran, which insists the ballistic tests do not violate the nuclear deal, is likely seeking to demonstrate it is pushing ahead with its ballistic program despite scaling back on the nuclear program following the deal that led to the lifting of international sanction on Tehran. …

Yeah right, “despite scaling back the nuclear program”. Ben Rhodes was candid about feeding the AP lies, and the AP still acts like his words are gospel.

If there is any justice left in the world, the first Iranian ICBM will land on Obama’s head.

1. There is no US SSBN sailing within range of Iran-Iraq-Saudi Arabia, but there should be one. (In the eastern Med Ocean, if nowhere else.)

2. Nuclear deterrence the Muslim will understand: If any nuclear bomb explodes over Israel, the second nuclear weapon to go off in the MidEast will be over top of Mecca, and the third over top of Medina.

Obola and his administration would aim US nukes at Israel. Trump would aim them at the Muslims in the terrorist-governments.

How lovely they all water it down with language like ‘deal’ and ‘world’ powers. No treaty, no mention of what anyone else ‘gets’ in this ‘deal’. Thank you John effin and Barack 0bama for arming the most dangerous rogue regime in the world. GFY, the both of you.

Don’t you know we aren’t allowed to blow up Ben Rhodes’ narrative . . . ? We must believe his fiction is reality, even right up to the point where the firestorm consumes us.

Nuclear Arms Deal Iranian Violation #347...

Obama and the West learned nothing from the 20th century bloodletting.

Obama knew Iran would not honor the deal.

Obama knew he was endangering the entire planet when he lied to the American people about what a good deal this is.

Only Benjamin Netanyahu stood up to Obama and the UN.

Only Benjamin Netanyahu has told and warned us all about what is coming.

Only Obama has safeguarded Iran's rights to go berserk soon.

That is why many nation in the Middle East completely ignore Obama. He is a nothing and a liar.

Haifa! Then the Golan Heights are wide open. Hope it’s just a nightmare.

Iran will target Tel Aviv but Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, the UAE and other states will be hitting Iran BEFORE they launch an ICBM at Israel. By then Obama will be cutting the ribbon of his Presidential Library and will be basking in the sun on some Golf course somewhere. He will be happy that it is not his job to clean up the mess of the planet he created...

Iran is run by a madman. The world better stop Iran now before there is an Iranian nuclear explosion over Israel. The Iranian madman is serious!

It is a given these missile systems are intended for Israel. A 1200 mile range is just about right for a flight from one of the Iranian missile launch sites located in the NW quadrant of Iran to Israel.

The astute observer will note that Iranian missiles would only need half that range to threaten (act as a deterrent against) their immediate neighbors. You could also note they would need twice that range to threaten most of Europe. Hmm, but what potential adversary lies in the neighborhood of 1200 miles downrange... Really just Israel.

Israel’s Netanyahu has known the score with Obama and Iran since 2008.

Hence, Netanyahu has prepared the State of Israel for the eventual PRE-EMPTIVE HIT on Iran but she will not be alone.

Israel will join forces with Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and others to PREVENT and Iranian attack.

With this administration?
We’d be lucky they are not using the SSBN’s to give Muslim recruits “training rides” ...
