Press TV - Tue, 19th May 2009 A new study by a US-based think tank questions the effectiveness of Washington's planned anti-missile defense system in Eastern Europe. "The Obama administration should conduct a serious technical review of the capabilities claimed for the proposed European missile defense system," said a study published by the New York-based EastWest Institute.

The study, "Iran's Nuclear and Missile Potential", both undermines the plans, proposed by former US President George W. Bush and the likelihood of an "imminent" attack from Iran.
