Iran to Strike U.S., Israel with "Thousands of Missiles" If Attacked
Iran will strike U.S. interests around the world and Israel if attacked over its disputed nuclear program, Mohammad Baqer Zolghadr, the deputy interior minister for security affairs, said Thursday. "Nowhere would be safe for America with (Iran's) long-range missiles...we can fire tens of thousands of missiles every day....With long-range missiles Iran can also threaten Israel as America's ally," he said. Iran says its Shahab-3 missile with a range of 1,250 miles is capable of hitting Israel and U.S. bases in the Gulf. (Reuters/Washington Post)
