#1 There are also Hezbollah cells in South America, especially Brazil and Argentina. Iran could export missiles to Brazil and move them overland from there. I've heard they are heavy, but can be concealed in tankers, logging trucks, and any ship with cargo space...just the sort of things that never get noticed because they look like they belong there.

#2 yup. While we should push back against proliferation, that alone is not a defense at this point.

Hence, antiballistic missile defense and a bunch of other technologies under development and test, like tactical high energy lasers for defense against rockets, artillery and mortar rounds.

We plan to deploy all of these ... are doing so. We've offered them to friends as well -- they can come under the shield or take their chances outside, I guess.

#3 Hugo didn't even know where Iran was 2 years ago.
He'll do anything to be a chubby little pain in the ass for America.
