From The Washington Post:A planned U.S. missile shield to protect Europe from a possible Iranian attack would be ineffective against the kinds of missiles Iran is likely to deploy, according to a joint analysis by top U.S. and Russian scientists.
The U.S.-Russian team also judged that it would be more than five years before Iran is capable of building both a nuclear warhead and a missile capable of carrying it over long distances. And if Iran attempted such an attack, the experts say, it would ensure its own destruction.
"The missile threat from Iran to Europe is thus not imminent," the 12-member technical panel concludes in a report produced by the EastWest Institute, an independent think tank based in Moscow, New York and Belgium.

My Comment: The report's most important recommendation is its statement that the West must pursue peaceful negotiations with Iran. Sigh .... it appears that they are not even trying to hide their agenda.

Well, would you want them to hide their agenda?
There's some Iranian threat in southeastern Europe, but most of Europe is still safe. However, Israel is in deep trouble, and that will, by virtue of our diplomatic ties, bring the US in as well.
Haaretz is quoted as saying “An Israeli official said on Tuesday that Israel will be forced to take on Iran's contentious nuclear program alone once U.S. President Barack Obama's overture for dialogue with Tehran fails.” (as quoted by Newsy)
As long as the US backs up Israel's decision, they can catch Iran in a stalemate.
