New Warning Shot From Iran!!!
Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards test fired several ballistic missiles on Tuesday, including a long-range variety meant to dissuade Israel and the U.S. from attacking the Islamic Republic, local media reported.
The Guards’ acting commander told state TV that the tests, aimed at mock enemy bases in a war game exercise, were a response to Israel’s and Washington’s refusal to rule out military strikes to stop Iran’s nuclear program.
“It is a response to the political impoliteness of those who talk about all options being on the table,” Gen. Hossein Salami said.
The official IRNA news agency said the surface-to-surface missiles successfully hit their targets, while semi-official Fars said the salvos included the so-called Shahab-3 missile. It quoted a leading officer as saying the missiles traveled distances of up to 1,300 kilometers, or 800 miles.
Iran has tested a variety of missiles in previous war games, including a Shahab-3 variant with a range of 2,000 kilometers that can reach Israel and southern Europe. The launched missiles are also capable of hitting U.S. bases in the region.
Iranian state TV showed footage of several missiles being launched.
“So far, we have launched missiles from 300 to 1,300 kilometers in the maneuver,” said Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who heads the Guards’ aerospace division. He hinted that some missiles had an even longer range.
Israel is about 1,000 kilometers away from Iran’s western borders, while the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet is based in Bahrain, some 200 kilometers from Iranian shores in the Persian Gulf.
The Iranian commander quoted by Fars said Iran used both unmanned and manned bombers in the war games, and was firing a variety of other missiles. Tehran says the drills aim to assess the accuracy and effectiveness of its warheads and weapons systems.
On Sunday, a European Union oil embargo meant to pressure Iran over its nuclear program came into effect.
The West suspects the Islamic Republic wants to build nuclear weapons, and Israel has hinted at an attack if diplomatic efforts and sanctions fail to eliminate what it sees as a direct threat.
Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, such as power generation and cancer treatment.

Come on fellows! These are not nukes. Yes they will blow up some things, buildings, etc (If they don’t self destruct) But they cold fire a thousand and not do the damage we could do with 550kt nuke. They are blowhards!
Recently the Tennessee Governor raised the limit on terrorist to unlimited. IT LOOKS LIKE HUNTING SEASON IS ABOUT TO START!
You sound like a bloodthirsty idiot just itching to cause carnage & commit violence. Wow that’s really going to help the world! The words of the Iranian President, a decent man recently in the UN council where Israhell didn’t even give the resepect of listening to his speech. They walked out because they don’t want talk, they want to sacrifice their own people & yours too. Seriously you’re talking about nuking innocent people like it’s a sport.. That. is. sick.
‘Ahmadinejad alluded to what he sees as Israel’s illegitimate nuclear arsenal, and criticized members who haven’t stopped Israel from acquiring it: “Some members of the Security Council with veto rights have chosen silence with regard to the nuclear warheads of a fake regime, while at the same time [impeding]…the scientific progress of other nations.”’
How many times did YOU vote for obama ?
every freedom loving “TRUE” American has already made their preperations for this big event. They should prepare to meet Americas unseen army. listen for Paul Revere.
It’s good to see the bee and wasp has a sting in it’s tail else they would had died out years ago and so would our main food source.
“But they cold fire a thousand and not do the damage we could do with 550kt nuke”
I will see you’re nuke and raise you the venom of a snake with a genetic splice to bind this with a weaponized version of the common cold that incubates in you’re body until you dies from snake poison and thats some something we in the west could do thirty years ago so don’t even try guess what the USA or Iran have today or if they can use nano-bots to spread such a weapon
Are you sure you know what Iran has in the fridge because i come across a few stories about people being killed by a simple bee sting after they go poking a bees nest and thats just what the USA is doing for Israel
Nukes might come in useful for steralising a small country after it has been infected by such weapons to try to prevent the spread of such a virus but trying the old “Preemptive” trick on Iran would require so many nukes that we would al die anyway.
Get with the plan my man because you are still thinking of yesterday wars and the next war will be fought in hospitals IMHO.
Dumb white men, think that America and Israel are the only one with Nukes??? So many enemies US, White Males created around the Planet! Now these business suit and redneck fatigue wearing tea baggers are cheering for a Global War that will destroy a third of the Planet..
It is crazy so many people of varying racial make-up and these goons would rather pollute the Planet with radiation than to share power and resources… Evil!
Right. You sound very cocky, are you forgetting Iran is not alone? They have countries like China & Russia who have vowed to back them up. The US military is not invincible but there sure are a lot of Americans who like to thing they are. Cowards? Like geeks sitting behind a computer screen dropping bombs on wedding parties, rescuers & children? War is not inevitable. All Iran wants is independence & the right to scientific development. So many Amerikans are hypocrits & just sound like arrogant dim-witted bullies.
dont be naive, Iran will sooner or later develop nuclear weapons if Us, Israel,EU or anybody else like it or not.But in some way you are right; no one wants to be bullied, because its different then the rest. Its just a question what will iran do with nukes(when they will develop it); will they try to blow up the sionistic israel, went on another “islamic crusade” or something completely different…?
