Iran could fire 'hundreds' of missiles at Europe: Gates: "US intelligence has shown Iran could launch an attack against Europe with 'scores or hundreds' of missiles, prompting major changes to US missile defenses, Pentagon chief Robert Gates said on Thursday.
President Barack Obama in September cited a mounting danger from Iran's arsenal of short and medium-range missiles when he announced an overhaul of US missile defense plans.
The new program, called the 'phased adaptive approach,' uses sea and land-based interceptors to protect NATO allies in the region, instead of mainly larger weapons designed to counter long-range missiles."
