Today’s Washington Free Beacon<\/a> posted an article about Iran<\/a>‘s announcement that it has developed ballistic missile<\/a> technology.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Brigadier General<\/a> Hossein Salami, the lieutenant commander of Iran\u2019s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/a> (IRGC), made the critical weapons announcement just days after Iran and the West signed a deal aimed at curbing the country\u2019s nuclear activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Salami claimed that \u201cIran is among the only three world countries enjoying an indigenous ballistic missile technology,\u201d according<\/a> to the state-run Fars News Agency<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMany countries may have access to cruise missiles technology, but when it comes to ballistic missiles, I am confident that only the U.S. and the [former] Soviet Union<\/a> could master this technology, and now we can announce that we own this technology as well,\u201d Salami told Fars.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obviously this may or may not be true, but how much are will willing to bet on the truthfulness of his claim.<\/p>\n

The article quotes Michael Rubin<\/a> on the situation:<\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps, [Secretary of State] John Kerry<\/a> believes that Iran only wants ballistic missiles for peaceful purposes,\u201d said Rubin, author of Dancing with the Devil: The Perils of Engaging Rogue Regimes<\/i>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact of the matter is that Kerry and crew left both ballistic missiles and the nuclear warhead trigger experimentation at Parchin<\/a> [military site] off-the-table\u201d during talks in Geneva, Rubin said. \u201cIt\u2019s the diplomatic equivalent of installing a burglar alarm system in your house but leaving the keys in the door.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of us would like to see peace come to the Middle East. Somehow I don’t think the path we are currently traveling as a country is leading in that direction.<\/p>\n
