I would hope that the deterrent value of a weapon that can destroy the Iranian nuclear program would have a positive impact on the diplomatic effort (and who is brave enough to gamble on the Iranian side?).

This is MOP’s real value.

If it were available earlier they could have used in on Iraqi WMD as well 😉

So does Xmas – and I think it will be here sooner than your party time…

BTW – the IISS has just published an report suggesting that sanctions may be seriously affecting Iran’s solid-propellant missile development programme. It points to the absence of recent flight tests of the Sejil missile.
