CNN - Report: Iran opens two missile plants

CNN reports: "The inauguration of the production lines for the anti-helicopter Qaem missile, and the anti-armor Toofan-5 (Hurricane) missile, came three days after Iran test-launched a rocket capable of carrying a satellite, a launch deemed a 'provocative act' by Washington."

My Way News - Western officials dismiss Iranian nuclear proposal
My Way News reports: "Iran's claims to be close to an agreement on its nuclear program have yet to be backed up by any concrete actions, top Western officials said Saturday, and U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said it may be time to take a 'different tack' with Tehran."

Comment: Iran is making progress in developing their military even as they continue their yes-no-wait act over their nuclear program and Russia and China continue to provide diplomatic cover for their game. The sad truth that the U.S., Great Britain, France and Germany will have to ultimately face is that Russia, China and Iran can keep this up as long as it takes for Iran to go nuclear. It's a great strategy, but it leads to one very bad outcome...a nuclear armed Iran.
