Its a flash, duck and cover!

A few weeks ago, I made a post reflecting on the missile delivery system delivered to the nation of Iran by the Russian federation. I guess that the system got there.

Iranian state television on Wednesday showed several missiles from the TOR-M1 system being fired in the desert from mobile vehicle launchers and then successfully taking out their targets in the sky.

The United States was quick to respond to the 29 unit contract by the Iranian government.

"We don't think that it's an appropriate signal to be sending ... particularly when they are under UN sanctions for trying to develop a nuclear weapon, and when they continue to be in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions," deputy State Department spokesman Tom Casey said in January.

With the current level of over the Iranian nuclear program and with the US at the edge of no- mans-land of that tension, the addition of these defensive measures to protect Iranian air space is something to be followed. Iranian rhetoric is reaching the point of no return, conflict might not be too far off in an assumption. The leaders in Iran know that conflict with the US could be a possibility and as a result they are gearing up for a possible attack. As the "Decision Maker" is making the best decisions for our National Security, ( remember this?) conflict within a second theater could be a possibility. Ill see you in the draft line.
