The countdown to war between Israel and Iran has begun. Earlier this week, Tehran announced that it test-fired long-range missiles capable of striking Israel, Egypt, parts of Europe and American bases in the Persian Gulf.
"Iran has successfully test-fired long-range Shahab missiles with multiple warheads," the country's state-run media reported, adding that the launch was designed to "boost the armed forces' deterrent capabilities."
The test-fire came on the eve of Yom Kippur and just two days after the White House disclosed that Iran had developed a new uranium-enrichment facility -- the first step to developing an atomic bomb. Current Intelligence reports estimate that Iran could enrich enough fissile material to develop a nuclear warhead within one to three years.
