Iran Gets First North Korean-Made Missiles

Why can't we all just get along? Reason: Fear. Fear makes people cruel and selfish. I've experienced this on a personal level and it works the same way for countries. We can, however, hope that sanity prevails.
"Iran has received its first batch of North Korean-made surface-to-surface missiles that put European countries within firing range, Israel's military intelligence chief said in an interview published Thursday. The BM-25 missiles have a range of 1,550 miles and are capable of carrying nuclear warheads, the Haaretz daily reported. ... Those missiles spurred Israel to develop its Arrow-2 anti-ballistic missile system, which is can intercept the Iranian missiles. Israeli concerns have been heightened in recent months by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's calls to wipe Israel "off the map." - yahoo
