Iran Accelerating Missile Work, U.S. Says
[AP/USA Today] The head of the U.S. missile defense program sought Wednesday to bolster Washington's argument for anti-missile sites in Europe by warning that Iran has sped up development of long-range missiles. "They are developing missiles today in an accelerated pace," Lt. Gen. Henry Obering said in Prague. "They're developing ranges of missiles that go far beyond anything they would need in a regional fight, for example, with Israel," Obering said. "Why are they developing missiles today that...will be possible to reach Europe in few years?" he asked.
