Was it under direct orders from the Iranian administration to load trucks and boats with missiles and deliver them to Hamas/Hezzbollah in Gaza?... or was it underground malitias?.. or what?...
I'm curious. I'll check back for your response in a bit..

Well you may wnt to forgive the Brits and Yanks they have standards they have to work around whereas Iran can attack without pretenses of any sort.
Gates testified that future upgrades to our missile defense "would give us the ability to protect our troops, our bases, our facilities and our allies in Europe."

Quite a few countries can "launch hundreds of missiles if they wanted to" including the USA.
Does that mean the US needs to be immediately attacked because it is building nukes, and may be a threat to world peace?
I would be far more worried about Iran if it had 170 military bases located all over the world, had been involved in constant warfare for sixty years, if it's economy was now totally dependent on maintaining war (somewhere), and was currently fighting two wars of aggression, and was seriously looking to begin a third war.
We all know who the war mongers are, and it sure ain't Iran.
