Default Iranian MRM based in Venezuela?

According to many sources, Iran is planning to place Shahab 3 / Scud ramps in Venezuela.

The missiles has enough range to hit mainland US.

Is Chavez crazy? Of course, this is a clever move from the Iranians, to establish this new MAD policy (assuming the missiles has nuclear warheads), but - if the news are true- no good for the world peace...

Chaves is that annoying, eh?

I don't think the US will pull another WMD "cheat" after Iraq ...

That's what JDAMs are for. That or sink all shipping coming from Iran to our hemisphere summarily.

A Iranian Shahab 3 on the Northern beaches of Venezuela would just barely hit the southern most point of Florida... assuming the CEP (2.5 kilometers. The 190m CEP is only in their dreams) allows such a lucky hit.

I don't think I will be digging my bomb shelter this weekend.

the Iranian Shahab 3 also can only lift a 800kg payload which equals about a 500kg warhead.
