I think that's one where Israeli hawks add a zero to the range estimates to see if they can get traction in an EU that remains resistant to their war drums. It might "convince" the Polish enough to accept a ton of yankee dollars to have their useless missiles in Europe, but that doesn't mean anyone thinks there's a threat, let alone that the missiles could counter it.

Iran has demonstrated nothing of a long range capability up to now.

You're missing the point - Mofaz, like lots of retired generals (hawks or not, and Mofaz is certainly a hawk) is strongly against an attack on Iran. The argument, true or not, is being made as an argument against an attack, not for it.
