Iran Test-Fires Dozens Of Nuke-Ready Long Range Missiles In "Great Prophet" Exercises

The AP story on this went up almost exactly an hour ago. Iran is test-firing dozens of Shahab-3s:

Iranian state-run televison said Thursday the country had test-fired dozen of missiles, including the long-range Shahab-3, during the first hours of new military maneuvers. The report said the elite Revolutionary Guards also had launched several kinds of short-range missiles in a central desert area of Iran. The newscaster did not elaborate about where the maneuvers were located. But earlier Wednesday, the head of the Revolutionary Guards, Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, said the 10-day maneuvers, named "Great Prophet," would take place in the Gulf, the Sea of Oman and several provinces of the country.

The Shahab-3 can be loaded with a nuclear warhead, and it can read Israel. So Iran named their exercises - preparation for a war that could trigger a nuclear war - "Great Prophet". Good thing there's no apocalyptic strain in the Iranian leadership hierarchy.

When nuclear war breaks out because of the world's fickleness to this generation's Hitler wannabe, it'll be Israel's fault. Because everything is Israel's fault.
