Iranian missiles can carry nukes

After hearing stories of radar avoiding missles, underwater missles, and flying boats it might be difficult for some of us to filter facts from fabrication. However, the latest news from Iran isn’t something to take lightly.

Iran now has ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, according to military experts.

While Tehran denies it is trying to develop a nuclear arsenal, ballistic missile experts advising the United States say it has succeeded in reconfiguring the Shahab-3 ballistic missile to carry nuclear weapons, the London Telegraph reports.

“This is a major breakthrough for the Iranians,” said a senior U.S. official, according to the London paper. “They have been trying to do this for years and now they have succeeded. It is a very disturbing development.”

Recent test firings of the Shahab-3 by military experts show Iran has been able to modify the nose cone to carry a basic nuclear bomb, the experts conclude.

To emphasise the kind of mentality we are dealing with, WND quotes from Regime Change Iran.

Riazaty, in a post on the website Regime Change Iran, said the Iranian president emphasized his current theme that the return of the Shiite messiah, the Mahdi, is not far away, and Muslims must prepare for it.

According to Shiites, the 12th imam disappeared as a child in the year 941. When he returns, they believe, he will reign on earth for seven years, before bringing about a final judgment and the end of the world.

Ahmadinejad is urging Iranians to prepare for the coming of the Mahdi by turning the country into a mighty and advanced Islamic society and by avoiding the corruption and excesses of the West.

“We must prepare ourselves to rule the world and the only way to do that is to put forth views on the basis of the Expectation of the Return,” Ahmadinejad said. “If we work on the basis of the Expectation of the Return [of the Mahdi], all the affairs of our nation will be streamlined and the administration of the country will become easier.”

It is a pretty scary situation we are facing. I still hope that diplomacy can work, but I have very big doubts that it will. I think we should all prepare mentally for the possibility of military action. Its a good thing, in my opinion, that this option is not off the table.
