#7 Theoretical 1500 km range, at least. Based on that, 3dc's map shows the missiles could definitely reach Iraq and Saudi Arabia, which take up a much larger section of the arc as well as being bigger and closer... in case the aim is off a hair in addition to the fuel or something being a bit mismeasured, I mean.

#8 It really looks to me like Iran shoots from Syria or Lebanon.

#9 It would be a shame if one of those - or something with similar sound effects - were to land on the al aqsa mosque.

#13 I like the way you think, Excalibur! Israel should have razed that ammo dump back in 67.

#16 It appears that the phrase "bombers" is being used euphemistically. A quick look at the map says there is no way to get from Iran to Israel by air except through Saudi, Iraqi, or Turkish airspace. I don't really think anything with wings is going to last very long broaching any of those borders.

Sadly, I think you might be a tad too optimistic, RWV. Muslim hatred for Israel knows no bounds. Even if it does, it's far more wise to act upon the previous premise.
