As I reported after the Sejjil-2's unexpected success in May, over 20 European capitals are already within range. As Rubin correctly observes, they've achieved the breakthrough (solid fuel & staging) --- now it's just a matter of perfecting it in order to reach the rest of Europe.
With Iranian missile technology advancing by leaps and bounds, an intransigent Russia, and a pusillanimous Administration, what a great time to be going back to the drawing board on European missile defense...
Iran could have the ability to strike most of Europe with a ballistic missile within three or four years if it made an all-out push, the former head of Israel's missile defense program said on Thursday.
If correct, the timeline cited by Uzi Rubin, a leading authority on Iran's program, puts a fresh note of urgency into a diplomatically thorny debate over building a multibillion-dollar anti-missile shield in Europe.

WHY DO I GET THE FEELING THAT THE WORLD HAS PUSHED THE PAUSE BUTTON?...
WELL EVERYONE IS ON PAUSE EXCEPT THE IRANIANS...SOMEONE HAD BETTER TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY...
