"Great Prophet." Not that this has anything to do with Islam. "Iran Test Fires Most Advanced Missiles," by William Branigin, Walter Pincus and Karen DeYoung for the Washington Post, September 28 (thanks to Paul):
Iran reported Monday that it successfully test-fired its most advanced and powerful medium-range missiles as part of war games it said were intended to deter the country's enemies.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps tested the Shahab-3 and Sejil missiles in the third phase of a two-day exercise called The Great Prophet IV, state-run news media reported. The missiles are believed to be capable of striking Israel, U.S. military targets in the Middle East and parts of southeastern Europe.
But Gen. Hossein Salami, commander of the Revolutionary Guard Air Force said the test-firings were part of exercises to practice "preventive and defensive operations." They are "in no way a threat to neighboring countries," Iranian news media quoted him as saying. Rather, the tests send "a message for certain greedy nations that seek to create fear, to show that we are able to give a swift and suitable answer to our enemies."
"The armed forces of the Islamic Republic are now more powerful than ever and fully prepared to foil foreign threats," said Maj. Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, military adviser to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei....
This isn't a threat to neighbouring countries, no, because Isreal is not Iran's "neigbour"; they do not share borders.
Nice evasiveness.
Here's to Iran: Here
Funny stuff.
Iran has already told the Muslem world to "mobilize" there armys for the coming of the Mahdi.
Iran is going to attack.
NOW, BIBI, NOW!
Does anybody think the General is going to say; "As soon as we have tested the missiles successfully we will use them on Israel"---But than again Mahmoud Amadnutjob (sorry about the spelling) has creatively been threatening to do that since he was "ah" given the Presidency.
Iran is able to carry on with the nukes by the Russians and Chinese. so much for Obambi diplomacy when he gave up on protecting Eastern Europe American best allies of Europe.
Amadnutjob has no nuts and has SDS ]small dick syndrome].projects his lack of manhood with missiles.
/that is all
Salami is full of baloney.
JLP
Don't they never warned us.
sometimes I think Muslims worship missiles more that Allah...
Iran's own kids are rioing in the Universities, we won't need to attack.
Try spending less money on arms and armies and more on health, social programs.
The kids are rioting in the Universities of Iran, we won't need to attack.
Try spending more money on health, education and social programs and less on saber rattling bs to impress the world.
Maybe the Mahdi will come out of his well just in time to watch the brilliant flash of an Israeli nuke exploding over his head.

Has anyone seen any dependent verification that these missiles were launched and performed as claimed, or is everyone just taking the Revolutionary Guard at its word? Also, if their nukes are for peaceful, civilian purposes, why do they need the missiles, anyway?

this sounds more like the boasts of a tin pot dictator with a 4th rate army if they can built and launch a irbm big deal when they can put a working nuke on it thats a time to get
worried as mad will not work with a goverment like irans
that sees Armageddon as desirable as killing there own will to them also take infidels also and to them it means a quick trip to what they think is paradice as allha will know his follower the time for the usa to start to worry is when they both have nukes and something like the old golf bms the sovoits had desil electric subs that carried 3 irbm in the sail that were nuke tiped right now all they have are 3 kilo class conventional subs
"They are in no way a threat to neighboring countries"
Whew, we can all relax now. Forget that ImaNutJob has stated that he wants to wipe Israel & the US off of the map.
"Iran test fires 'Great Prophet' missile"
Aw, that is such a create way to worship allah. Iranians are such sweet and sentimental terrorists.
Iran is giving away too much, they think it is a show of force.
They rattle, and the world understands and will use everything they learn to make themselves safe.
Not just for a day, but for its future.
and we're waiting to respond because....
