Documents released by WikiLeaks indicate Russian experts have
refuted US claims that Iran has or is seeking missiles capable of
targeting European capitals.
The website has released a diplomatic cable from last February where
the Russians challenged the very existence of the clandestine missiles
Washington insists Iran has purchased from North Korea, an analysis
published on the Inter Press Service website said on Tuesday.
The full text of the US State Department report on the December 22,
2009 meeting of the Joint Threat Assessment in Washington, posted on
WikiLeaks, shows there was a major confrontation over the allegations,
it said.
The North Korean BM-25 missiles are described as a
surface-to-surface missile based on an old Soviet submarine-launched
ballistic missile, the R-27, which is capable of reaching ranges of
2,400 to 4,000 kilometers and targeting much of Europe.
Acting assistant secretary for US international security and
nonproliferation, Vann H. Van Diepen, said at the meeting that the US

Now, I know that you're a total moron
by Anonymous Observer on Thu Dec 02, 2010 08:39 PM PSTbut do you realize that this post of yours directly contradicts your other post which is right above this one? See, in this post, your bosses at PressTV RELY on Wikileaks to show that the IR is no threat to Europe. But in your post above this one you claim that the whole Wikileaks thing is an Israeli conspiracy? See the conundrum? So, which one is it you tool? Is it all a Zionist lie or should we rely on it as the IR does? Or are the parts that are good for the IR true, and the rest of Zionist lies?
You're such an idiot. You can't even get your spoon fed propaganda right.
