Iran - worrying ?

[Daltons Chin Dimple]

So yesterday they test fired nine long range missiles and came out with lot's of rhetoric regarding what they would do to Israel and to US bases/interests in the event of any attack.

Today they have test fired more, plus surface to surface missiles from ships, plus torpedos and reiterated their position.

Condi has also had a few word of rhetoric for Tehran.

Just sabre rattling, or should all this been seen as very worrying developments ?

As far as I am aware, this was just a response to the Israelis' battleground/war games exercise they performed recently. Iran are basically justifying it by saying that Israel's exercise looked like a "mock invasion" of Iran.

Apart from that, I know nothing.

It's a new space race ... If Cronkite was still on the anchor desk he might have to say "Mullah on the Moon! :) N

Iran will force the US to decide what we want more, Isreal or $20 a gallon gas.
