Spin on the Photoshopped Iran Missile Tests

Don't worry about them. They are reasonable people. Nothing we can't solve over glass of wine.

Who is reasonable? Iran?

Hopefully this is just continued posturing while a deal gets worked out - and I hope a deal does get worked out.

I'm not beating a drum to go to war with Iran but we could be in for some interesting times for certain.

As far as worrying about them, as in the Iranian missiles? Those that could reach Israel, and they are not that many of them, would be likely intercepted by TMD capable Navy ships in the Persian Gulf and the eastern Med, Patriot, Israel's Arrow missiles, and goodly collection of other point and area defenses in the region. Iran's threat to close the Straight of Hormuz wouldn't last very long.

I do worry the middle east goes up in more flames than it is now but contrary to popular belief, it is not like Iran is in the driver's seat right now.
