I favor sending cruise missles to Iran especially if they are followed by JDAMs.

Looks somewhat like a Russian version of our TLAM.

The X-55 has a range of 3,000 km, enough to put Japan within striking range of the Asian continent or to reach Israel from Iran.

With Iran's new "electricity producing" nuclear program, I wouldn't want to be in Israel.

And we helped these people last winter for what reason? I do hope the policy changes sometime soon.

Although none of the missiles was exported with the nuclear warheads they were designed to carry

Yeah, I'd count on that being true. /sarcasm

That's a huge story, on the surface and even deeper if you think about. I'm guessing the major networks picked this right up and ran it on the evening news... No? Ok, situation normal.

It appears that this missile was built in violation of the START accord (trust but verify):

May 1990 - At a ministerial meeting in Moscow, Secretary Baker and Foreign Minister Shevardnadze agree:
- To a 600-kilometer range threshold for ALCMs.
- That the first 150 U.S. heavy bombers can carry up to 20 ALCMs but will be counted as carrying 10, and the first 210 Soviet heavy bombers can carry up to 12 ALCMs but will be counted as carrying 8. After the first 150 U.S. or 210 Soviet heavy bombers, the discount will disappear.
- To limit nuclear SLCMs to 880 in number in a separate, politically binding agreement.

The acquisition by Iran of cruise missiles, if proved, would heighten concerns about its nuclear weapons programme. Hate to be a grammar nazi, but shouldn't it be "The acquisition of cruise missles by Iran,......" ????
