Iran Threatens Israel With Long Range Rockets

A senior Iranian military official quoted by the London-based al-Shark al-Awsat Arabic newspaper is quoted as saying Iran has supplied Hizbullah with thousands of longer-range rockets, rockets capable of striking deeper into Central Israel.

The report states that Iran is threatening that if Israel continues the ongoing military assault in Lebanon, the rockets, some with a 150 kilometer (90 mile) range, will be fired into Israel.

The senior Iranian official also stated that dozens of Iranian experts are working in Lebanon with Hizbullah to enable them to successfully fire the rockets against Israel.
