The missiles are known in the West as BM-25s, operate on liquid fuel and are single-stage. The BM-25 was originally manufactured in the Soviet Union, where the first generation, adapted for use by Soviet submarines and able to carry a nuclear warhead, was known as the SSN6. After the Russians retired the missiles from service, they sold them to the North Koreans, who developed them to carry a heavier payload.

I was going to make the same point bodrul.
The level of uninformed paranoia at the moment is astounding. The idea that Iranian leaders would launch missiles against Europe or anyone else, unprovoked, is just fantasy. Why would they do such a thing and ensure their own destruction?
The excuse that they are mad Mullahs just waiting to be martyred is laughable

The opinion pages of Europe and the dinner tables of America’s metropolises are jumping to the beat. “They’re going to do it again!” they shriek. If they listen really hard they can hear it as clearly as “Paul is dead” when they spun Abbey Road the wrong way on their turntables.
I have some advice for them. Take a deep breath. Lie down. Smoke something if you think it will help. Turn on your iPod and tune out all that noise your ears think they are picking up. The US isn’t going to be attacking Iran any time soon; not this year, not this administration.

How is it that all these "it just can't happen" or "they aren't stupid" supporters of Iranian insanity are willing to gamble with the lives of millions?
When Israel and the US do STOP Iran, it will be the EU that attacks Israel...........

In case you were wondering, declaration of war, mobilizing the army or any defence related issue is out of his jurisdiction and his outbursts about attacking Israel are his personal view only (freedom of speech?) and do not represent the position of Iran.
Khamenei who has been in power for 17 years has shown a great deal of restraint. Bringing Iran's president into this discussion serves no purpose.
