"Some Fear Iran Space Program Is Hostile"

Found this in "News of the Oddd"

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran's announcement that it launched a research rocket has called new attention to a space program that Tehran says is peaceful but which some fear aims to produce long-range ballistic missiles that could reach Europe or the United States.

Exactly what Iran launched, or even what it aimed to do, remains the subject of debate, speculation and possible misinterpretation.

But there are parallels to the controversy over its nuclear program.

Some experts say that in both cases, what Iran says is a peaceful program could mask or be transformed into a weapons program. And in both cases, Iran's actual capabilities and the speed at which they are improving remain largely unknown.

1. IRAN

Fear breeds fear.............

If Iran had a nucular weapon and used it, do you think they would still exist as a Country?

Maybe by next year they will get a 'space shuttle' and pass the US in space exploration :sarcasm:
