NICOSIA [MENL] -- Iran has provided the first data of the capabilities of its enhanced Shihab-3 intermediate-range missile.
Iranian officials said the range and accuracy of the Shihab-3 have been significantly improved in 2004 with two flight tests of the enhanced missile. They said the missile underwent a redesign as well as integration of an advanced navigation and targeting system.
As a result, officials said, the Shihab-3 could now reach a range of 2,000 kilometers with a circle of error probability of one meter. Until 2004, the Shihab was said to have a range of 1,300 kilometers and a CEP of about a kilometer.

It's not going to happen. More likely you will see the Israelis do it, but that's not likely either.
Lately Iran has seemed to be inviting an attack. Wonder why?
Perhaps we can convince them otherwise?
By the Beard of the Prophet, the only way any ballistic missile can achieve a one meter CEP is by drawing a bull's eye around its impact point.
Obviously the Koran contains important technical data which western countries overlook at their peril! Allah be praised!

Methinks the Iranians have to go back to probability and statistics...1200 miles, and only off by a meter? Do they expect us to take them seriously?
HAHAHAHa...and they're still half a century behind us.
