Jane's Defense reports that Iran has expanded the payload delivery capacity of its Shahab 3A medium-range ballistic missile - the one it says is the most likely among its missile designs to carry a nuclear warhead. Israeli officials say that the now larger nose section can separate after launch and appears very much like the Russian SS-9 equivalent.
