In late November, Iran conducted a five day exercise to see how well its air and ground forces could defend against an air attack. The results were not what they expected. Israel has been threatening such an attack if Iran does not halt its nuclear weapons development.

I thinks this is good news because they are becoming worried that they are NOT prepared for Israel. We must divert the bEAST before it does something truly stupid.....

What we really need to do is get a big war going between saudi arabia and iran.
Let these two pieces of crap kill each other off.
A win win situation.
