Satellite Reveals Iranian Long-Range Missile Site International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, 11 Apr 2008Recent satellite imagery has revealed a site in Iran for developing ballistic missiles with a range of 6000 kilometers. Such a missile could reach any destination in the Middle East, Europe, China and most of India. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claims that the missiles are being constructed only to serve peaceful purposes, just as with their uranium enrichment program. However, Israeli President Shimon Peres said he sees 'no logic' in working diligently towards producing long-range ballistic missiles unless it is planned to couple such missiles with nuclear warheads. Analysis of the images taken by the Digital Globe QuickBird satellite indicates that that there was a recently constructed building on the site, about 40 meters in length, which is similar in form and size to the Taepodong long-range missile assembly facility in North Korea, reported The London Times. US and Israeli officials have expressed growing concerns that North Korea is helping both Iran and Syria develop their own nuclear and missile capabilities.
