Iran preparing retaliatory saturation missile strike on Israeli cities, sites

WASHINGTON — A leading Israeli analyst asserted that Teheran was preparing a massive retaliation for any Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
Iran’s Shihab-3 missile is said to have a range of up to 2,000 kilometres (1,200 miles).
Uzi Rubin, the founder of the Israel Missile Defense Organization, said Teheran would direct missile and rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, Iran, Lebanon and Syria.

Rubin, today a leading missile defense consultant, told the Marine Corps University in Quantico, Va. that Teheran has developed a so-called stand-off doctrine in any war with Israel.
