IRAN'S BALLISTIC STOCKPILE

It's been confirmed they have a whole stash (via Pajamas Media):
Israel is keeping a “very sharp eye” on Iran’s modernized ballistic missile arsenal and will be “ready to respond” should the Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) attempt to export the new Fateh 313 to Lebanon- or Syria-based proxies, a defense official says.

“We assess that Iran has begun to stockpile them,” the official said of the 500-kilometer-range, solid-fueled missile, unveiled in Aug. 22 ceremonies for National Defense Industry Day in the presence of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. “You can be sure we are monitoring any attempt to move these out of the country by air, land or sea.”

He added, in a not-so-cryptic reference to the multiple times weapon shipments have either been seized on the high seas or attacked by air, “Our red lines are very clear to all and we are obliged to act on them.”

…the precision-delivered system would be extremely lethal in the hands of Hezbollah.

“It means that from the farthest point in Lebanon, this missile can accurately hit high-value targets throughout Israel,” he said.

And while Iranian officials have stated that the missile is ready to enter production, Inbar concurred with the defense official who assessed that the Fateh 313 was already in serial production.
And Obama's policies have only made the situation worse by encouraging them to make more rockets.
