Meanwhile experts believe Iran will be able to produce inter-continental ballistic missiles capable of reaching Europe, and possibly America, by 2015. Some intelligence reports suggest Iran will have obtained the amount of uranium needed for a nuclear weapon much sooner.

“U.S. officials are downplaying reports in the New York Times and Washington Post that Pakistan’s A.Q. Khan may have given Iran–and other nations–blueprints for a miniature nuclear warhead first developed for his country’s program.”
Oh really! The same network that provided Iran and North Korea with the technology to enrich uranium has plans for a miniturized [...]

This is an interesting theory. Take a look at the pictures and judge for yourselves.
From the article:

It can not be denied, that the Pakistani solid fuel rockets Ghaznavi, Shaheen-1 and Shaheen-2 are similar to the Chinese DF-11, DF-11A and DF-15A (their two-stage variant). It [...]

China has completed the upgrade of its intermediate range CSS2 ballistic missiles in Tibet from liquid to solid fuel.
Missile experts say the upgrade reduces the logistic train for these missiles and will enable shorter launch times, increasing India’s vulnerability to a pre-emptive strike.

It looks like India is the intended target for these missiles located in central China. I guess China’s rise is peaceful until the day that it isn’t.

A leading arms expert said Thursday that China is making dramatic improvements to its nuclear arsenal, raising questions for future arms control efforts.
Recent upgrades have increased the accuracy and mobility of China’s arsenal, while a switch from liquid to solid fuel has shortened reaction times, said Bates Gill, director of the Stockholm International Peace Research [...]

Iran has developed its first intermediate-range solid-fuel ballistic missile.
Israeli intelligence sources said Iran has developed a solid-fuel missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers.
The intelligence sources said Iran acquired solid-fuel technology from China. In 2002, Iran developed the Fateh-110 single-stage solid-propellant, surface-to-surface missile with a range of 200 kilometers.

The Ashoura is a multi-stage, solid-fueled missile that could be very effective for long-range strategic use. The stated range of the Ashura is 1,240 miles.
The Shahab-3 is a single-stage, liquid-fueled missile, and that makes it much more difficult to use than the recently announced solid-fuel “Ashoura” missile. The range of the Shahab-3 is in question. [...]
