Iran’s missile-rattling ups the ante

In the wake of Iran’s lighting off several medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs) – including one that never got off the ground, but was photo-shopped in a widely publicized photograph to make it look as if it did – there has been much speculation about Iran’s missile capability: The greatest fear being that Iranian MRBMs could strike targets almost anywhere in the Middle East, including Israel and many U.S. bases, perhaps even reaching targets in southern and eastern Europe (perhaps most of Europe if Iran decided to move some of its missiles to Hezbollah-controlled zones in Lebanon).
