The Iranians have been involved recently in solid fuel ICBM developement and recently launched their for show short range missiles to impress Israel that they were serious about retaliation if the Israeli's struck at their nuclear facilities. Given this factor that the US is considering leaving the X-Band in place along with other missile deterents, would it be possible that the Iranians are in JOINT development with the North of this missile -- especially one with cruise missile profile capability that would render the PAC3 useless? This would be a major trade deal to bring in much needed currency. Also notice that the North Koreans are testing all possible routes to evade being checked by authorities to get to the Middle East. Latest was the ship boarded by India for anchoring in Indian territorial waters. Just wondering as you're more an expert on this than I. Jon,
