600 Iranian missiles pointed at Israel

With the impending war with Iran a web site close to Iran's regime says there are six hundred missles pointed at Isreal.

Six hundred Iranian Shihab-3 missiles are pointed at targets throughout Israel, and will be launched if either Iran or Syria are attacked, an Iranian website affiliated with the regime reported on Monday.

Behind a poster of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reading: "Missile maneuver of the Great Prophet," Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards tests the long-range Shihab-3 missile in a central desert area of Iran.

"Iran will shoot at Israel 600 missiles if it is attacked," the Iranian news website, Assar Iran, reported. "600 missiles will only be the first reaction."

According to the report, dozens of locations throughout Iraq, which are being used by the US Army, have also been targeted.

The Shihab missile has a range of 1,300 km, and can reach anywhere in Israel.

On Sunday, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said that the nuclear Iranian crisis forces the world "to prepare for the worst," and said that in this case it "is war."

Kouchner emphasized, however, that negotiations should still be the preferred course of action.

Kouchner, quoted by French daily Le Figaro, added that "Iran does whatever it pleases in Iraq ... one cannot find in the entire world a crisis greater than this one."

In response to Kouchner's comments, Iran's state-owned news agency accused France of pandering to the interests of the United States.

"The new occupants of the Elysee (Presidential palace) want to copy the White House," the IRNA news agency said in an editorial. The editorial added that French President Nicolas Sarkozy was taking on "an American skin."

Kouchner's statements came just hours after US Defense Secretary Robert Gates reiterated the Bush administration's commitment, at least for the time being, to using diplomatic and economic means to counter the potential nuclear threat from Iran.

Its a bluff gmony, Bad intel. Shehab 3's dont have the range to accuratly strike Israel. Do some more research they probably do have the capability but this report does not confirm it.

gmony714

sorry pacific I guess my research isn't up to your high standards I will try to get it right next time. I'm doing more research now but I figure since you live in the center of information "Norfolk Island" you could kindly help me.

Shahab-3 missile on launcher


This is the Shahab 3 {spelling seems to be in doubt} and this is as far as the BBC thinks it will go {but that was in 2004}. The range of this missile changes with every site you go to! Does anybody have access to Jane's Weapons Systems for verification? That is the only reliable guide.


SthPacific seems to be able to find his way into most things. What about it SthPacific?

Good info. The range of the Shehab-3, as publicized by the Iranian Minister of Defense on Oct. 20th, 2004, is 2000 km, putting Israel in easy reach as the distance between Jerusalem and Tehran is 1570 km.
