Stratfor - An Iranian army commander has announced plans for Iran's largest military exercise to be carried out in western Iran. According to the commander, the exercise will be used as a show of force to deter any threat across Kermanshah, Ilam and Khuzestan provinces. The exercise will involve 12 army divisions as well as "aviation" forces and artillery units.

| #5 SPoD, that's not exactly true. We may not be able to send some boots over there, but we have MORE than enough convential air power in theater to vaporize their 12 army divisions. The bad thing about divisions, is they are pretty easy to see from 30k feet! How long would it take to sortie from Guam? |

| #4 That's one way for Iran to get nukes fast. 12 divisions moved away from the major cities sounds like a compelling target. Go ahead, provoke us. |

| #3 If Iran invaded Iraq, Iran would glow. That is the only response we could muster. So don't invade OK. |

| #2 Iran effort to pull coalition forces from Fallujah? If Iran crosses the line, it has just provided the US with a clear-cut reason for invading it. I doubt the Iranians are considering an attack on Iraq. This falls under the heading of nice try, but no cigar. |
