Iran claims 600 missiles aimed at Israel

JERUSALEM, July 15 (UPI) -- Iran's claim to have enough missiles to hit 600 Israeli targets comes a day after Iranian-made rocket launchers were found pointed at a U.S. base in Iraq.

Iranian leaders said they would retaliate with the missiles if attacked by the United States or Israel, The Jerusalem Post reported Sunday.

U.S. military leaders Saturday announced the discovery of a field in Iraq containing 50 Iranian-made rocket launchers, all aimed at a U.S. Army base.

Earlier in the day, two U.S. soldiers were killed in Baghdad by a high-tech bomb army officials believe was smuggled in from Iran. Iran has denied the charge.

Meantime, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki Saturday said he believes Iraqi forces are capable of caring for their country and U.S. troops can leave "any time they want."

An aide to al-Maliki said the United States has embarrassed the Iraqi government by violating human rights and treating Iraq like an "experiment in an American laboratory."
