Sux!

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Iran has received a first shipment of missiles from North Korea that are capable of reaching Europe, Israel's military intelligence chief was quoted on Thursday as saying.

Known in the West as BM-25s, the Russian-designed missiles have a range of around 1,500 miles, giving them a longer reach than the Iranian-made Shihab-4 missiles which are capable of hitting Israel.

The intelligence chief, Major-General Amos Yadlin, was quoted by Israel's Haaretz newspaper as saying in a lecture on Wednesday that some BM-25s had arrived in Iran.

The BM-25 was originally manufactured in the Soviet Union, where it was known as the SSN6, a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, Haaretz reported.

After the Russians decommissioned the SSN6, the missiles were sold to North Korea, which adapted them to carry a heavier payload, the newspaper's military affairs correspondent said.

In February, a German diplomat, citing his country's intelligence data, confirmed a German newspaper report that said Iran had purchased 18 disassembled BM-25s from North Korea.

Israel has been urging the international community to pressure Iran to halt its nuclear programme as well as its efforts to obtain long-range missiles.

Iran, the world's fourth largest producer of crude oil, says its nuclear programme is a peaceful project to provide electricity.

Israel is widely believed to have more than 200 nuclear warheads. It declines to comment on its atomic program, saying only it will not be the first country to introduce nuclear weapons into the Middle East.

Nooooooo! blow up somewhere else like austrailia!

Well I am not too worried....ok granted I live in Canada, but I don't see anyone stupid enough to launch some nukes into london for no reason what so ever.

They would target Israel first, they probably gained the tech to hit EU just to show force incase EU thought about doing anything if/when they do hit Israel.

But no matter how you cut it Iran CAN NOT WIN. 18 PFFT! Even Isreal has more than that, need to think how many the UK has, and how many the US has....

Your using your thought process... they don't think like that. How many suicide bombers(outisde of the Middle East) has anyone else used?

Suicide Bombers is just 1 of many. Nukes is kinda different deal. If they wanted to do the suicide bombing thing then they wouldn't need the rockets for the nukes.

Why they need the rockets, well they obviously don't, nor do any other nations in the world.

Sometimes I just want to kill everyone in this world just for being so damn stupid. But then I remember I would be alone afterwards.....but still....*holds finger over the button*

PUSH IT!!

Yeah, but if you think about the past with Israel, and how zealously it was fought over, that mentality still exists except the people (and technology) are a tad bit smarter... so maybe running in carrying the nuke no longer looks as appealing as sending it off on a rocket.
