IRAN'S SUPPOSED LONG-RANGE MISSILE-LAUNCHING BASE

RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN THE TIMES

Oh, please, more anti-Iranian propaganda.

Iran has no reason on earth to "reach Europe" with missiles.

Do you ever take note of the fact that Israel in fact does have such missiles with nuclear warheads, and that some of its leaders have suggested in the past that if Israel goes down so will much of Europe? Those are facts, not speculative interpretations of photos.

Iran has attacked no one. It has in fact been the victim of American manipulations for decades, including America's encouragement of Hussein's attack in an eight-year war that proportionately was as terrible for Iran as WWII.

Today it is surrounded by nuclear powers. Its neighbor is occupied by 160,000 American troops. The seas near it have two or three American nuclear-armed carrier task forces threatening it.

And remember another American ship shot down an Iranian airliner years ago. No meaningful apology was ever even offered.
