I found a story from Jerusalem Post which didn’t have good news. Old article but said Iran got some missiles from North Korea which would have the range to hit the US. Plus their ability to put small payloads in orbit means they could put a very small warhead (300 Kg) on Washington.

I checked Google earth. Its 1800 km from Venz to the southern tip of the US. The above article says those NK weapons have ranges of 2500 -3500KM.

That's just lovely. If it's 1800 km from Venezuela to the US, then 3500 km has got to put pretty much the whole East Coast in range, right?

Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, both U.S. territories with strategic military importance, are just 500 miles from Venezuela. With these missiles, Iran poses a threat to the approaches to the Panama Canal and to world trade.
