Iran Has Missiles that Can Reach Berlin, Paris and Rome
(Ynet News) IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir said Saturday evening: "Iran launched a two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of 4,000 km. toward a U.S. target on the island of Diego Garcia. These missiles are not intended to strike Israel. Their range reaches European capitals - Berlin, Paris and Rome are all within direct threat range." "We have learned from world and Jewish history that denying a threat or appeasing it does not make it disappear. Those who fail to confront a threat at its outset will in the future become hostage to it. The possession of lethal strategic capabilities by radical, dictatorial regimes is a danger not only to Israel, but to the world." Addressing the IDF operations in Lebanon, Zamir said, "There is no more containment. There is initiative and offense. Our forces will stand as a buffer between the enemy and the communities, and any target that poses a threat to them will be removed. Our actions in Iran are weakening Hizbullah."
