IRGC displays new tactical missile on Quds day
|
[Rudaw] The streets of Tehran on Friday morning were the scene of the Iranian forces’ latest developed tactical missile, with a range long enough to target Israeli cities, sending a strong message to Iran’s regional foe on Quds Day.
More vapourware for the collection, no doubt. Thousands of Iranians erupted into the streets of the country on the last Friday of Ramadan to mark Quds Day, an annual day of protest initiated by Iran
 ...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence...
to support the Paleostinian cause.

Members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were also present, showcasing its most newly developed weapons.
Standing tall among the crowds of IRGC fighters and Iranian civilians was the new Kheybar Shekan missile, sending a strong message to Jerusalem both with its name and also with its 1,450 kilometers range.
The missile, which Iranian media and officials claim has unprecedented accuracy and range, is named in reference to the battle of Kheybar
...also spelt Khaybar, among other transliterations... in 628 CE between Moslems and Jews, where the Moslems led by Prophet Mohammed marched on Kheybar and forced Jews in the area to evacuate.
That is to say, Mohammed’s army defeated the Jews, then allowed them to stay on while paying a tribute of half their crops each year, until the second Rightly Guided Caliph, Omar, completed the conquest and evicted them. No doubt the oasis never was so productive again. In modern times, Moslems like shouting a little rhyme about Khaybar when harassing Jews — it makes them feel like they have the blood of conquerers in their veins instead of mostly the blood of the conquered. The name is Kheybar Shekan is Persian for Kheybar Breaker.
Oooohhhh, scary. We would say Jew Killer, but we are not subtle Persians. Quds (the Arabic name for Jerusalem) Day was originally introduced by the leader of the Iranian revolution Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1979 urging Moslems across the world to show their solidarity with the Paleostinian claim to Jerusalem on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan.
The associated rallies and parades have, however, remained largely tied to the Islamic Theocratic Republic and its allies in the region, rarely being observed outside of these circles.
Iran’s display of its weapons also comes at a very crucial time for Tehran-US relations. The outgoing US Central Command (CENTCOM) chief last month expressed his concern over the "remarkable" growth in the number and efficiency of Iran’s ballistic missile force and the grave threat the country poses. Appearing before his last Senate Armed Services Committee, Marine General Kenneth McKenzie, who has led American troops in the Middle East since March 2019, warned of the threat that the Islamic Theocratic Republic ’s ballistic and cruise missile capacity poses. "Today, Iran is no less of a threat to American interests or to the stability of the region than it was in 1979," McKenzie said in his opening remarks.
Pressed by US Senator Angus King on the range of Iranian missiles - and whether they could get to Gay Paree, London, or New York - McKenzie responded that Iran has over 3,000 ballistic missiles of various types. "Some of which can reach Tel Aviv, to give you an idea of the range, none of them can reach Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
yet, but over the last five to seven years, senator, they have invested heavily in their ballistic missile program, their missiles are of significantly greater range and significantly enhanced accuracy," he said.
Under the pretext of hitting an Israeli base, Iran fired a dozen ballistic missiles targeting areas surrounding the US consulate building in Erbil earlier in March, injuring two civilians and causing severe material damage to houses. The attack came less than a week after Iran vowed to seek Dire Revenge against Israel, warning it would "pay the price" for the killing of two members of the IRGC in an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
in Syria.
This all comes as talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) resumed in late November, however, are yet to reach a conclusion.
Under former US President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
’s administration, the US withdrew from the nuclear accord and imposed a raft of sanctions in an effort to force Tehran to renegotiate a broader deal. President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass. Don't say he didn't warn us...
wants to return to the deal.
While the US withdrew from the deal, Iran has enormously increased its uranium enrichment.
Speaking on the developments of the talks, Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization Chief Mohammed Eslami on Friday told IRGC affiliated Mehr News that the technical discussion related to the JCPOA talks "is over and there are political discussions that are delayed by the Americans."
