Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Philip Hollobone (Conservative). It was answered by Lord Reid of Cardowan (Labour) on Monday, 12 December 2005 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Iran

Question
What assessment he has made of the potential threat to NATO countries and armies of the development of long-range missile technology in Iran.
Answer

We continually monitor the potential threat that long-range missiles present to NATO countries and armies. Iran already has short and medium-range missiles in service, some of which could reach NATO territory, and its potential for developing longer-range missiles has been recognised for some time.
