Tehran seeks to completely overhaul, revamp military might to counter U.S.!

Iran is using the billions in cash resources provided under the landmark nuclear deal to engage in an unprecedented military buildup meant to transform the Islamic Republic's fighting force into an "offensive" juggernaut, according to a largely unreported announcement by Iranian military leaders that has sparked concern among U.S. national security insiders and sources on Capitol Hill.

Iranian officials announced late last month that Iran's defense budget had increased by 145 percent under President Hassan Rouhani and that the military is moving forward with a massive restructuring effort aimed at making it "a forward moving force," according to regional reports.

Iran also has pursued multi-million dollar arms deals with Russia since economic sanctions were nixed as part of the deal.

I guess we have former president (and GREAT AMERICAN IDIOT) Obama for this.

I guess IDIOT Obama had to look out for his Muslim friends.
