7. Why all the doubt?

All of the technology needed to design and make a reasonably accurate and reliable missiles is very well known and readily available. A very accurate guidance system can be built for less than US$1000 using the same 32-bit quad-core ARM CPUs used in cell phones or an equally inexpensive 64-bit Intel Atom quad-core CPU. GPS chips that have had the USA restrictions removed are readily available from multiple sources. The chemistry for solid rocket fuel and nozzle design is well known. Just because Americans and Israelis waste trillions of dollars on vastly over-priced war toys (F-35!), does not mean that everyone has to. Iranian engineers are NOT dummies and have the advantage of knowing all the stupid mistakes that others (USA!) have made. BTW - Iran has already cloned, put into production and deployed their version of the Russian S-400 and the Russian BUK, making flying into Iran a very iffy thing for attackers. Iran has figured out that for the cost of one F-35 they can make LOTS of accurate, inexpensive missiles.
8. IRAN AND HIZBULLAH
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (08.22.15)

10. #7 IT AINT ROCKET SCIENCE
ALBERTO EINSTEIN ,   SAFED GENIUS   (08.22.15)
You are correct .
11. #8 - IMPORTANT - He who throws nukes
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (08.22.15)
will probably be nuked in return. Pakistan, India and China (and the USA for that matter) are downwind of Iran and will be VERY UNHAPPY if Israel contaminates their people and food supplies. Note that all three have lots of nuclear weapons and all three have missiles capable of dropping those nukes on Israel (Yes, Pakistan now has that capability and India and China have had it for a long time). Before you advocate for Israel to use its nukes, think about what will happen to Israel in the hours and days that follow. Even if Israel escapes getting nuked, its economy will be destroyed and most Israelis will soon be starving. You do not appear to understand that nukes are only good for committing suicide.

the shia terror regime has every reason to boast. they defeated the great satan without firing a shot. as long as saint obama is sitting in the white house, the shia terror regime has nothing to fear. any plans israel has, should be kept under wraps. it seems that american spies are roaming the land of israel. the embassy has eight hundred people working trying to listen in on all conversations. many of israel's secrets have been spilled by this white house. best to you and your family.
13. More newly painted cardboard toys from incapable Muslims

14. Iran has voided the Iran deal
Benji ,   US   (08.22.15)
They have rejected and changed important parts of the agreement at will. This agreement is worth less than Iranian toilet paper. Wake up US Congress! Do the right thing and vote against this bad deal.
15. #14 - Actually no - The nuclear deal is ONLY
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (08.23.15)
about nuclear technology, NOTHING ELSE. Most of the nations on earth will completely disagrees with you and will consider Iran as meeting its obligations. The non-USA sanctions are going away and trade with Iran will be starting regardless how many missiles Iran has. BTW - Why are you not worried about the Pakistani Shaheen-III MRBM with NUCLEAR WARHEADS that can easily reach Israel from Pakistan? Or the Chinese missiles with NUCLEAR WARHEADS targeted on Israel? Or the Saudi Arabian DF21C MRBM that are targeted on Israel and may have NUCLEAR WARHEADS made in Pakistan? Why are you paranoid about what Iran will do in the future when there are lots of nukes ALREADY targeted on Israel by other countries?
16. Not to worry,
(08.23.15)
The US law makers are getting an ear full from their constituents.
17. #16 - As Carly Fiorina has correctly noted . . .
spyguy ,   seatle usa   (08.24.15)
What the congress critters do is totally worthless hot air. The agreement is being implemented by the world and there is NOTHING the congress critters can do about it except declare war on Iran which will get all of them FIRED (as the donald would say). Carly Fiorina is correct that congress critters should just shut up about Iran and should try to fix the many real problems the USA has. Note that just because Carly Fiorina is correct about this single thing, does NOT mean she is in any way acceptable as a presidential candidate. She is extremely mean and ruthless and highhandedly destroyed one of America's best companies and FIRED over 30,000 hard working and intelligent humans in the process. When will Israelis understand the Iran boat has left the dock and it is time to find a new boogieman?
18. #15
Benji ,   US   (08.24.15)
Because Iran has repeatedly threatened to destroy Israel. They have acted on threats through proxies. Seems you should be a bit worried considering Iran considers the US the Big Satan and has threatened to send suicide bombers and missiles to the US. Doesn't the propaganda and war game material you soak up mention that? In reality, you don't know squat about what's going on. You're just a little weasel sitting in front of a monitor. As long as Iran maintains a contentious and warmongering attitude toward the west, they will remain a volatile and risky trade partner.
19. Y'all trust dying humans
US citizen ,   US   (08.24.15)
I will, even if I am dead, trust in the One who is more powerful and intelligent than all mere dying humans..
20. STUPIDGUY of Seattle is clueless as usual
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.25.15)
No wonder he calls himself stupid.
