The Iranians will have to develop an entirely new missile to achieve ICBM capability. The idea that the Shahaab-3 can be continually augmented to get the necessary range is laughable. Furthermore, even if the Iranians were somehow to develop a new ICBM within six years, they are within their rights to do so.

Rein in Israel, stop the threats, become more even-handed towards Iran and things will quiet down.
