MISSILE EXERCISE TO WARN EUROPE OF BACKLASH FROM U.S. NAVAL ATTACK

"... Iran announced (a) war game... Nov. 1 in response to the to the US-led naval movements and buildup in the in the Red Sea... The spectacular swarm of sophisticated missiles fired in Iran’s surprise military exercise stuns military planners in the US, Israel and Europe... their most startling feat was the successful first test-fire of the long-range Shehab-3 with its cluster of tens of small bomblets... This Shehab-3, whose 2,000-km range brings Israel, the Middle East and Europe within reach - may be more than a match for any anti-missile missile system in American, Israeli or European arsenals... Europe... was being warned that it would be first in line for a backlash from a US or Israeli strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities..."
