Iran trying to develop nuclear-tipped missiles

By

The UK Telegraph reports on alarming developments in Iran's nuclear program:

Britain and key European allies are using intelligence briefings to convince major powers that Iran is trying to develop nuclear warheads for its Shahab—3 missiles.

The Shahab 3, displayed at a Teheran military parade in September with slogans such as "We will crush America under our feet", has a range of at least 810 miles and is capable of reaching Israel, Turkey, Russia and India....

in private sessions ahead of today's meeting of the governing board of the International Atomic Energy Agency, European officials are stressing they believe US intelligence provides strong evidence of Teheran's determination to build an atomic bomb.
