"Its range is estimated at around 4,000 kilometers."
Let's see...distance from Tehran to Rome: 2121 miles. That's about 3413 Kilometers.
...to London: 2738 miles. That's about 4406 Kilometers.
Iran's getting very close to its first major evil goal.
And yes, much of the Iranian noise about Israel is a ruse.

Why Tehran? They might as well launch it from their north-western border with Turkey, and come closer to London by more than 700 kms, easily making up for the shortcomings of the 4000-km missile.

You sir, are 100% right on the mark. Few are noticing this.
Israel is the long, long term goal and short term red herring. Rome and NY are the first targets. NY will be an inside job attempt and I think Rome will be a missile attempt.
