Iran Threatens Israel And U.S. Bases In Iraq

Townhall.com::Blog: Iran Threatens Israel And U.S. Bases In Iraq

"Olmert said Israel was not afraid of the situation in Iran: 'We are
concerned, but we don't have to lose our head.' Earlier Monday, an Iranian Web
site affiliated with the regime reported that 600 Shihab-3 missiles were pointed
at targets throughout Israel and would be launched if either Iran or Syria were
attacked. 'Iran will shoot 600 missiles at Israel if it is attacked,' the
Iranian news Web site, Assar Iran, reported, saying such a barrage would 'only
be the first reaction.' According to the report, dozens of locations throughout
Iraq 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. The report on the Iranian
Web site came fast on the heels of the reports of an alleged IAF bombing raid
inside Syria of what some foreign news reports say was a nuclear cache or
installation. "


This is a very scary situation right now, and it honestly I am very concerned about this, this could lead to a very deadly conflict. If Iran attacks targets in Iraq, it could backfire uniting Iraq against Iran. That would be good news for our mission in Iraq, but at the cost of a far deeper and deadlier conflict.
