The tests occurred at a time of increased tension between Iran and Israel over Tehran's disputed nuclear programme, which the West fears is aimed at making bombs. Iran says its nuclear program is only for power generation.

Ping.
Iran says its nuclear program is only for power generation.

mobile nuke power plants.. on the tips of missiles.
Now that’s innovative. ;-)
Let’s test fire a few of ours
We quit testing our long range submarine missiles a long time ago. They all work.
Those RATs who say (and said) “see, GWB wasted his time going after Iraq when the real problem was Iran,” conveniently forget that to solve Iran you first had to get Saddam out of the way. But the administration could not admit that publicly.
Guess I’d better run out tonite and fill up the gas tank.
I wish that we would just stomp on these dangerous countries and show them we mean business - without putting American lives at risk.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki sent a clear and effective message to the world.
We need to send it again.
Unfortunately these days every has to be done by committee.
But Iran said their nuclear program was for power generation only?
Why would they need missiles that can hold nuclear weapons?
Could they and their buddies the Russians be looking to destablize the middle-east so oil and NG prices stay high?
How about a Tomahawk fired from out in the Arabian Sea, through the Gulf of Oman, through the Strait of Hormuz, all the way up the Iranian coast of the Persian Gulf, up the Shatt al-Arab to hit a target rowboat just off the Basra shore.
You know we can do it.
No doubt. Don't trip or sneeze. Same goes for the A-bomb whenever you want to admit you have one.
