According to MEMRI, Iran has threatened to use its ‘long-ranged’ missiles to attack United States targets and Israel in case the U.S. attacked Iran.

In an April 25 speech, Iranian Deputy Interior Minister Mohammed Baqer Dho Al-Qadr threatened that if the U.S. attacked Iran, “nowhere will be safe for America, because of [Iran’s] long-range missiles. Iran is capable of firing dozens of missiles every day at American targets, and with the long-range missiles we can also threaten Israel, as a supporter of America.”

First off, of course Iran will strike out if attacked.  One wouldn’t expect anything else.  But it is interesting to note that Iran seeks to dissuade an American strike by saying it would attack Israel.  Of course Iran would attack Israel because they would need to try to galvanize the Iranian people and the support of other nations in the region.  It just so happens many of those American targets within the region are in nations Iran would seek the support of.

The longest range of the Iranian missile class comes in the form of the Shahab-3, which has a range of 800 miles.  Shahab-4 and Shahab-6, someone forgot the fifth class, has been in development, but at this point there is no reason to believe either exists.
