Iran missile could reach US by 2015
A US Defence Department report has warned that Iran could fire a missile at the United States by 2015, and adds that the Iranians have gone to great lengths to protect their nuclear infrastructure from physical destruction.
"With sufficient foreign assistance, Iran could probably develop and test an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching the United States by 2015," Fox News quoted the new 12 page unclassified report, as saying.
The report further claims that Iran's military strategy is designed to defend against external or "hard" threats from the United States and Israel.
"Iran continues being a disruptive force inside Iraq. Iran also offers strategic and operational guidance to militias and terrorist groups to target US Forces in Iraq and undermine US interests," the report said.
