Knowing the history of the mullahacracy to exaggerate claims I'm going to wait for confirmation from a third party. In August, Iran claimed to have successfully launched a dummy satellite into orbit but radar tracking by the USS Russell confirmed the satellite launch was a failure. Iran also likes to photoshop successful rocket launches when in reality they never left the ground. TelegraphThe launch of the Omid satellite, meaning Hope, was timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Islamic revolution and United Nations talks aimed at stopping Iran's nuclear programme.
"Dear Iranians, your children have put the first indigenous satellite into orbit," said President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a broadcast on state television.
"With this launch the Islamic Republic of Iran has officially achieved a presence in space."
The launch has highlighted international concerns that Iran will use domestically developed space technology to develop intercontinental nuclear missiles.

If they did it, which it looks like they have from other sources i have read, this is bad news for the entire world. It means there is no place in the world that iran can not strike with a nuke.

It all depends on Iran's guidance system on the ICBM. But Israel, Europe will most likely be in range. Thank God President Obama will dismantle the missile shield.
