At a US Senate Foreign Affaris Committee panel about Iran, the Democratic Senator for Connecticut Christopher Dodd has said that Iran's claim that their nuclear studies are for peaceful purposes only is "not convincing".
Iran is producing long range missiles for the purpose of spreading its power in the Middle East and beyond the Senator added.
According to Dodd, Iran's Shahab-4 missiles have the capacity to reach the Near East and Southeast Europe and this situation puts US bases in Turkey at great risk.
They probably just want to kill their Islamic neighbors (plus Jews, of course). So let's not worry about Iranian nukes. </sarcasm>
Turkey bases at risk? = NATO!
US to Iran, "North Dakota's" missile fields will flatten you, and don't you forget it!
I understand Turkey has a rather nasty Army and irritating them is not a real good idea.
Just wait until the new conventional armed ICBM's come online. Just let Iran just blink and the closest thing to the wrath of God man can send will drop on them from above.
