Placing Iran attempt to launch a satellite in the proper perspective, and for ideas for reducing the risk of an Iranian ICBM, I recommend:

Further, the trajectory for a space launch is quite different that one used for ICBMs. Those tracking the flight will recognise early in flight the intended mission. See graph by David Wright comparing the NK Unha and ICBM flight profiles.

The first stage of this SLV uses low-energy, Scud propellants which is why it is so big (~75 tons), and ill-suited for use on a mobile ICBM; fixed sites are too vulnerable. If Iran wants an ICBM, it will exploit Khorramshahr hardware, which employs high-energy fuels.

But the first satellite launch attempt I am aware of was February 2008, not 2005. First successful attempt was Feb 2009. Perhaps a prototype launcher was seen on the ground in 2005??

Once a day, little satellites zip over northern Iran and snap a few photos of Iran’s spaceport. Activity is up, but what are they launching? (Imagery by , analysis by and )

You informed me two decades ago about how the USG views PR, and to my alarm, I witnessed it. But I never imagined that a sitting US president would threaten to be this callous to the great people of Puerto Rico. Words cannot capture my full outrage.

+1 I find this mildly amusing, but wonder how Bahraini officials reacted.

The Irony: It was the Reagan administration that first employed economic incentives, like cap and trade emissions credits to compel companies to meet many of the 1980s, non-CO2 pollution standards. It was Reagan's free-market (reduced gov't) solution. Seems sensible now for CO2.

He was an opportunist, feeding at everyone's trough. He also supported every proposal to militarily intervene in the Middle East, regardless of the potential unintended or likely negative consequences.
