The ambassador of death...

Well if its for "deterrence and defensive purposes" how is it going to "keep the enemy paralyzed in its bases" without using it?

Moreover, wouldn't the enemy be likely to move out of their bases so as not to present a static target?

Who wants to bet the first thing this hits is a city?

Or a ship in the Gulf Of Hormuz?

*facepalm*

iran would do itself no end off good if it were to drop the raging nutcase attitude and rhetoric. But I suppose that's the hallmark of a regime that must behave so or loose it's dominance - so it's less to do with the rest of the world, and all about domestic politics.

Hehe, who do they have to fight now iraq is a smoking ruin with no clear government? Saudi arabia? Kuwait? Yemen? UAE? Israel? Bahrain? Pakistan? WHO then?

It's nice that they can spend money on new and expensive technology on the one hand, whilst practising a barbarous medieval justice system, the likes of which most of the rest of the world left behind in the fifteenth century. But that's a whole lot of progress to choke on all at once

I'm not sure if it is 'nutcase' rhetoric, but it certainly is aggressive; more aggressive than is probably wise.

Better to err on the side of caution until a definitive conclusion is arrived at.

Personally speaking, I don't trust the buggas because one of the potential outcomes is too serious to contemplate/gamble on.

No, I don't trust them either. I just think they're more stupid than crazy.
