Iran Test Fires Long Range Civilian Energy Conveyance
Nothing to see here, Great Satan.
Iran conducted a test launch Tuesday night of the Shihab-3 intermediate-range ballistic missile... The Shihab test was only "partly successful," according to news reports. The nature of the difficulties was not clear. The Iranians have been working to extend the Shihab 3's current maximum range of 1,300 kilometers. A year ago, they successfully tested a solid fuel motor for the missile.
With a reach already better than 800 miles, Iran could use the Shihab to distribute its civilian energy to any of its regional neighbors, including Israel.
Gindu adds:
Don't forget they also have nuclear-capable cruise missiles (which do work well) with a range of 1500+ miles, within range of Israel. Cruise missiles are much harder to detect than ballistic missiles, allowing the civilian nuclear energy to just appear on doorsteps.
