The greatest strategic threat to the United States is an attack by one or more ballistic missiles armed with nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction. Today, the United States remains completely vulnerable to this form of attack.
Missilethreat.com is dedicated to explaining this threat, and the urgent need for robust and layered missile defenses. Systems based on land, sea, air, and in space which are capable of intercepting a missile during any phase of its flight are necessary to provide for the common defense.
Iran conducted a missile test today in Semnan province, 125 miles east of Tehran. The state-run Iranian news service reports that the missile is a solid-fueled Sajjil-2; if true, this would be Iran's second medium-range missile test in the last six months. According to Iran's defense minister, Mostafa Mohammad Najjar, this new and improved Sajjil is said to have more sophisticated navigation equipment and improved sensors.
