BTW
Inaccurate missiles of any given range are by design terror weapons that can only be used against unprotected urban centers. W/o advanced precision there is no military advantage in using an IRBM against any military target of worth. So in practical terms one needs to develop any reasonably long (enough) range IRBM that can hoist whatever weapon be it chemical, nuclear or biologic and forego the complex job of reducing the CEP to a military worthy range and what you've come up with is an entirely feasible and useful strategic weapon of terror. Which is kind of the point. Iran doesn't really care where its missiles can land so long as everyone else worries that will land somewhere.
