The Iran nuke deal is presented the public as a means to control Iranian weapons proliferation and stop the Islamic regime from developing a nuclear bomb. Yet Iran has long violated the terms of the original deal, and uses all the money available to it to enhance its military power and pursue its vision of regional hegemony. Western leaders prefer to pretend that this problem does not exist.
Iran has unveiled a new missile with a reported range that would allow it to reach both US bases in the region as well as targets inside its archfoe Israel…It is called the Khaibar-buster, a reference to a Jewish castle overrun by Muslim warriors in the early days of Islam.
The region, and more broadly the world, is under a grave security threat from the Shia doomsday regime.
Days ago, the Ayatollah Khamenei vowed a “vindication jihad” and a hybrid war against Iran’s foes.
“Iran unveils new long-range missile,” Northwest Star, February 9, 2022:
Iran has unveiled a new missile with a reported range that would allow it to reach both US bases in the region as well as targets inside its archfoe Israel.
State TV reported that the missile has solid fuel and a range of 1450km.
It is called the Khaibar-buster, a reference to a Jewish castle overrun by Muslim warriors in the early days of Islam.
It said the missile has high accuracy, is manufactured completely domestically, and can defeat missile shield systems. The information has not been independently verified.
Israel’s closest point to Iran is some 1000km away.
The report comes as negotiations continue in Vienna to revive Tehran’s tattered nuclear deal with world powers. Iran, which has long said it does not seek nuclear weapons and insists its missile program is only a deterrent…..

The mullahs aren’t crazy enough to destroy a US military base since the turnip in Oval Office is giving them what they want. For a relatively low value target of a US military base there would be a much costlier reprisal or additional no-strings-attached billions of dollars made available to the mullahs. After Afghanistan, it’s hard to tell which way this could go.
Attacking Israel is much more likely. Would the US do anything about it after the fact regardless of whether it’s a conventional or nuclear attack? Would there be a ground invasion of Iran? With a turnip “in office”, probably not.
Frank Anderson says
Please stop and think for a few minutes.
Watch the many launches of US rockets that use relatively small solid booster rockets attached around the main rocket to get them off the pad and moving quicker than just using the basic engines. Adding boosters increases the acceleration, ultimate velocity and range of a rocket.
Iran has solid boosters it uses on its surface to air missiles that are perfectly suitable for attachment to their ballistic missiles. It can obviously make them in any desired number and size. A missile with a declared range can increase that range by adding these boosters.
It takes ONE bomb, needing NO heat shield, to explode about 300 miles above Omaha Nebraska, to destroy every pacemaker, PC, automobile computer, household and utility control computer in MOST of the 48 contiguous United States. All this “hu-la-la” about US bases being in range is a pure distraction from the real threat that just a few missiles launched toward the US from Nicaragua, (where Iran has a presence). or from ships in the Gulf, (where Iran has practiced such launches for well over a decade), is the real threat.
Read about the last nuclear tests conducted above Johnston Island which damaged mechanical telephone equipment in Hawaii, over a thousand miles away. Electronic equipment is many times more vulnerable to EMP than mechanical.
Hitting a US base is small potatoes compared to using the same missile and bomb to destroy most of the US in one blow. However evil they are; they are not stupid and know how to find the most harmful choice.

Thank you for this informative post.

“Read about the last nuclear tests conducted above Johnston Island which damaged mechanical telephone equipment in Hawaii, over a thousand miles away.”
Very real – and very frightening.
To your point, I found an interesting 2010 article from Homeland Security Newswire. It discusses the very real – and very difficult task – of prioritizing spending for homeland security as we face multiple threats.

Those despicable arrogant jihad-minded Muslims who have so much terrible power in the viciously hostile heinously tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran with all their agressive intentions with their scheming jihad violence for the cause of Islam , this specific example as with those new type of long range missile that .are as demonically evil and malicious as it’s also deadly is most horrendous.
As those tyrants who have such complete power in Iran ,they are well described in the Bible in Psalm 73:6-9.
Which reads “Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity ; their evil imaginations have no limits. They scoff, and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.”

Those viciously hostile jihad-minded Muslims who have total control in that abundantly agressive Islamic tyrannical regime by their new long range development , construction and testing in the violent jihad ideology for the cause of Islam are openly showing their arrogant message of spiteful contempt and threating power to America and Israel.
Only an ignorant feeble-minded fool can’t see this or either a wicked treacherous fiend actually , secretly , approves of this. The former or the later may rightly fit the description of Joe Biden.

GEE I wonder where they got the money to build these missiles?
