Not only is it political bias, but it's not understanding that ballistic missiles would likely be the type of weapon used to counter a nuclear attack from the only other terrorist nation in the Middle East that's a nuclear threat to anyone: Israel. A barrage of land based ICBMs would be a decent deterrent for Iran to use to prevent Israel from attacking. Iran's missiles would have to get over Iraq and Jordan to strike Israel. That requires a long range ballistic missile. The mechanics may be rocket science, but the reasoning most certainly is not.
