Bloomberg is reporting that, according to WikiLeaks, Iran has obtained 19 advanced missiles from North Korea, providing the Islamic nation with the capability to attack nearby countries, such as Russia and Western Europe.

U.S. officials have denounced the release of information prior to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's departure for a security conference in the Persian Gulf, claiming that it could jeopardize U.S. relations with foreign governments as well as endanger individuals. The missiles were identified to be North Korean BM-25 missiles, which are based on the Russian R-27. These weapons could provide Iran with blueprints for producing long-range missiles."
