Default Iran to launch missiles to liberate Palestine?

Shahab-3s should have been developed with the help of the North Koreans.

BTW, as it seems the AFP is not correct on this one:

Tehran, July 19 - The chief of the UN's Nuclear Watchdog has denied reports
that inspectors found enriched uranium in samples taken recently in Iran,
calling it "pure speculation at this stage," the Associated Press has
reported.

Mohamed Elbaradei, the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA), told AP, "there's a lot of analysis we need to discuss...with
Iran."

"We are not in any way ready to come up with a conclusion on that issue
before we discuss all the results with the Iranian authorities."

Reuters on Friday quoted diplomats, who asked not to be named, as saying
that initial analysis showed enrichment levels possibly consistent with an
attempt to make weapons-grade material and high enough to cause concern at
the IAEA.

However, Khalil Mousavi, the spokesman for Iran's Atomic Energy Organization
(IAEO) told reporters on Saturday that no comment could be made on the
reports because the source of the news has been declared `unidentified
diplomats.'
