RIA Novosti - Russia - Iran missile, nuclear threat 'real, dangerous' - Russian analyst

So when George Bush took Russian warnings to heart he was widely panned as alarmist and uninformed.  One can only assume that with a Democrat controlled government sitting in Washington, a more "reasoned" approach will be taken and these foolish Russian warnings will simply be ignored.  Feel safer now??

MOSCOW, March 12 (RIA Novosti) - Russia and the West would be making a big mistake if they ignored or underestimated the potential missile and nuclear threat coming from Iran, a Russian military expert said on Thursday.

"Iran is actively working on a missile development program. I won't say the Iranians will be able to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles in the near future, but they will most likely be able to threaten the whole of Europe," said Maj. Gen. Vladimir Dvorkin, head of the Moscow-based Center for Strategic Nuclear Forces.
