A new space center in Iran, which will be used to launch satellites made by the Islamic Republic and other Muslim nations, is currently 80 per cent complete, the country’s defense minister said.

I think that the U.S. media has been way off the mark because this DOES present an existential threat to the U.S. government especially if it is accurate enough to hit midtown Manhatton and not the Catskills. They keep looking for the next extremeists who might build a homemade device, or at least that is what we are told, but I think were getting a smoke screen. Iran is a longstanding enemy and will require action at some point. ANSWER: These days, most thinkers are amazed at the way some nations are making the same mistakes that some individuals have made through the history. If there is no physical hard fact that an external entity is entering and violating your country then look for an internal cause of your headache. Iran is sitting in its country. The US is gone into Persian Gulf and elsewhere. The US complains of headache. Who is gone into whose territory? Where should the US look for the cause of its headache?

But I'm sure North Korea is jealous the Iranians got this stuffworking when they could not. But after you have seen the Russian andAmerican Rockets from the 1960's all these rockets look like a kids toy.Oh, Good Luck Iran, it's nice to see you working on constructive stuff, I know you are not the backward people that Israel tries to portray you as,you have an old civillization, and are civillized people. Looks like littleIran is moving into the space age, good luck with that.--------------- ----ANSWER---------- ----- Like any technology rockets are going through evolution of less mass and more power. Bulkiness is not a virtue. Iranians do not go through the Western evolution by taking the steps that have already produced an improved step. They pick the latest most improved step and improve on it. By the time, this rocket has to carry a payload to space it will get bulkier.

America and Iran - get over it.

It seems like the major players will never agree on nuclear disarmament so an alternative could be to allow all countries the democratic right to have a hand in not just blowing up the world five times,lets go for fifty times we just need to breed with the zombies now in america, I have it all planned we just tie brains to the triggers to arouse attention.
Just another Iranian technical achievement that the Israelis envy and also fear.
Once the Israelis have been able to goad the US into attacking Iran, count on this center to be on the target list.
The only serious impediment to Israeli hegemony in the Middle East is Iran, and that is why the Israelis want the US to drive Iran back to being a poor a goat herding society.
It's become boring this stories about rocket being able to carry nuk warhead.You can practicable mount a nuk warhead on any kind of artillery. Example is US made David Crockett recoiless gun. So,what is a point?
Just a "kick in the dark"...does this "space center" have anything to do with Keshe? Or will they use explosions to propel a metal tube into the air? Anyone knows?
