I've Been Thinking:

On Friday the Iranians tested a new rocket the Fajr-3.
Fajr means "victory" in Farsi Persian.

This rocket is said to be extremely special.
First, similar to a Russian missile, it is supposed to be undetected by radar. Second, it has multiple warheads and can hit several different targets.

If all this is true then, once again, Iran is proving how advanced they are in weapon development.

There is another possibility.
The Fajr-3 may not be an Iranian-developed missile at all, but a Russian weapon that Iran test fired.
If so, that means the Iranians have several sophisticated rockets but they cannot produce an unlimited supply of them.
A small consolation.

Either way, the nuclear issue is just one of the many activities taking place in Iran that we must carefully watch.
