Israel worried by report Iran has tripled its missile arsenal
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: nuclear program, Israel News 

Reports on Monday suggesting Iran has recently tripled its missile arsenal have exacerbated concerns that the Islamic Republic remains tireless in its efforts to step up defensive capabilities against Israel.

The number of Shihab-3 missiles in Iran's possession has gone from roughly 30 at the start of 2008 to more than 100.

he long-range Shihab-3 missiles are capable of striking any point in Israel. At this point, they are armed with one-ton conventional warheads, but are also capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
