Iranian officials are releasing statements indicating success in the ongoing strategic air defense exercises, a five day event that got underway on Sunday. Accompanying the major military exercise have been statements threatening Israel against a military assault against Tehran’s nuclear facilities.
The exercise is intended to determine the operational abilities of Iran’s anti-aircraft units along with Revolutionary Guard and other troops. The Iranian Air Force is believed to be using the Russian built advanced S-300 anti-aircraft system, a system that poses significant risk to Israeli fighter jets, but senior IAF officers have stated that the IAF has a response for the advanced system as well.

I am not happy about this. The Iranians have improved drastically the range and precision of their long range missiles. Hashem Yishmor!
What else is Iran going to say? I have to say that Iran certainly makes bold statements and takes bold steps, but makes no apologies. I guess Mr. Obama better learn to stand up instead of bending forward.
