On May 20th, Iran released footage of its test missile . Dan Robinson from Voice of America News shares the urgency that Republican Congressional Members have for missile self-defense systems, specifically for Israel. Here is the urgency that Congressman Dan Burton expressed:
Republican Representative Dan Burton said Congress
should send a signal in every piece of legislation it approves that
Tehran's ballistic missile and nuclear aspirations are unacceptable.
"Now we know they have a missile that has pinpoint accuracy that can reach Europe and Israel, and [Iranian President] Ahmadinejad has said he wants to see Israel wiped off the face of the Earth, and I think it is extremely important that we send a very strong message by adopting this amendment to this bill that we strongly support a cooperative effort to make sure we have anti-ballistic missile technology that Israel can use to knock down those missiles if they are fired at Israel," said Dan Burton.
