Default Iran buys SSN6 missiles

@ jumpy:
"Iram" was a mistake (like there are many on this forum) because the "n" and the "m" keys are next to eachother.

@ scandium:
The mere fact that the Israeli military intelligence states something without naming sources can hardly considered an "extremely shaky foundation". It is a statement, not a foundation at all and whether it is shaky remains to be seen.
The SS-N-6 has a range of 2.500 km, not 2.5 km and is nuclear capable.
Your question

is very valid and to the point. If been thinking a lot about that inconsistency lately. One answer I came up with is this: Perhaps Iran wants to get nuclear warheads as well but doesn't tell us...? Could be, couldn't it?

@ Kapitan:
This is the relevant link I plucked from Global Security.com (for what it is worth): http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/li...4-29f11bfb.htm

@ aaken:
The German secret service report about the acquisition of 18 disassembled BM-25's would be a second source for this information then?

@ everybody who takes a relaxed view at the complete political picture of Iran's current policy:
Think about Nazi Germany in the early thirties.
Who cares that the Nazi's start building a few coastal U-boats and a pocket battleship; they'll never be able to threaten the most powerfull fleet that ever sailed the globe, the Royal Navy...
And those little PzKw I's and II's with their machine guns are oh so inferior to Mathildes and Valentine tanks.
No need to worry at all...
