Iran is investing heavily in ICBM's that can hit the US east coast. They'll get there within 3-4 years.
Also, Iran has purchased or developed the guidance technology that will be able to guide such missiles.
And oh yeah. They're developing nuclear capacity.
Happy Wednesday y'all !

It's obviously a PR play by Israel to get some support from hawks in the US, and get public opinion in the US moving their way to innoculate them when they eventually tangle with Iran.
But I'll admit, the ICBM news is new to me.

Of course its a PR play but I hope, and I know you have AA, that people think this through. There are far more imminent dangers to the US than what Iran could or could not do in three years.

I'm pretty far from a hawk.
But even with me, putting the words "ICBM" and "nukes" in the same paragraph get my attention.
Pakistan is essentially a nuclear protectorate. Either us or China would have to take them over if they got much more unstable.
I don't want the future of the US to be the holding company for failed or insane-and-deposed nuclear regimes. Not unless the world starts paying a LOT of money for the privilege.
It becomes part and parcel of our military and spending picture for that reason. So it is relevant. Not just for the scare factor.

why in the hell would iran attack the US? and just having the capability doesn't mean much. we'd have hours to shoot it down by the time i got to us. then we'd level their entire country.
i'm sure some dipshits will be scared into supporting war because of this, though.

UPDATE: IRAQ HAS WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!
I guess we need another war to funnel more tax dollars from hard working Americans to all those great American corporations that profit from death.

Even if Iran get it, it just changes their position at the table, and doesn't
mean they'll shoot it at someone moment they get it
I'd rather that they don't get it, but I'm also for complete nuclear disarmament,
and how probable is that

I'm wholeheartedly against complete nuclear disarmament. We have had the greatest account of global peace since the nuclear bomb was unveiled.

You talking about the peace where we run around the earth shooting anyone who gets in our way?
Here is the peace we've had since the end of WWII:
Korean War (1950-1953)
Vietnam War
Iranian Hostage Crisis (1979-1980)
Lebanese Intervention (1982-1984)
Grenada Invasion (1983)
Panama Invasion (1989)
Second Persian Gulf War (1991)
Somalia Intervention (1992-1993)
Bosnian War (1995)
bin Laden's War (1998-Present)
Kosovo War (1999)
The War in Afghanistan (2001-Present)
The Third Persian Gulf War : "Operation Iraqi Freedom" (2003-2011)
We have managed to scrape together a few years of peace in there somewhere.

I dont believe it. Iran is not a threat at all
The only threat to the US is a terrorist using a nuke. with anyone else including Iran MAD is in place. We have more nukes than anyone
