From Thomas L. Friedman‘s 10.1 N.Y. Times article, titled “The First Volleys of a Ballistic Missile War in the Mideast” and posted last night between 8 and 9 pm:

“We may be about to enter what could be the most dangerous moment in the history of the modern Middle East: a ballistic missile war between Iran and Israel, which would almost certainly bring in the United States on Israel’s side and could culminate in a full-blown U.S.-Israeli effort to destroy Iran’s nuclear program.”
