Berlin, paris and london. the range of that missile shes standing in front of is about 950 kilometers. from iran that really wouldnt put most of -- state actors, it would put countries like iran and saudi arabia in range. theyre doing it in a pretty correspo choreographed motion. youll remember in october of 2016, they filed missiles. the stagecraft is important here but also the policy and what those policy implications are going to be and crucially what the international communitys reaction is...
