Inhofe: Iran capable of delivering WMD to US East coast by 2015

By Josiah Ryan - 08/23/11 04:21 PM ET

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) warned on Monday that Iran will be capable of delivering a weapon of mass destruction to the eastern U.S. by 2015.

"We know — and it is not even classified for me to tell you today — that Iran will have the capability of delivering a weapon of mass destruction to western Europe and the eastern United States by 2015," said Inhofe, as reported by The Tulsa World.

"I see that [Iran] as the most imminent threat to this country right now so that is a problem we are going to have deal with," said Inhofe, a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Inhofe also suggested that President Obama is currently pursuing a policy of appeasing America's enemies.

"The third thing is harder to talk about," said Inhofe. "We have got to get out of this mentality of appeasement. Right now this administration has been appeasing."
