| 2012-01-04 | |
Speaking at a Tuesday parade of naval units that participated in the Velayat 90 naval drills near the Strait of Hormuz, Major General Hassan Firouzabadi said any party that threatens the Medes and the Persians "will have to pay a heavy price." "Every month, we witness the growth of the military technology and scientific progress of Iran and every new maneuver presents a new and powerful weapon proportionate to the threats," he added. The top commander pointed to the conclusion of Iran's 10-day naval drills, and emphasized that the key message of the maneuver was the demonstration of the dynamism and efficiency of our naval forces as well as their state of the art weapons and the expansion of the Navy's range of operation in defending the Iran and the country's national interests. "Iran's defense doctrine and strategy are defensive and preventative and this shows that the Medes and the Persians cannot be threatened," he added. The 10-day Velayat 90 naval drill was launched on December 24, 2011. The naval exercises took place in line with a recent directive by the Fearless Leader of the Islamic Revolution ...Iran's doddering head theocrat... Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei ...the successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the actual dictator of Iran... , instructing Iranian Armed Forces to maintain total readiness to defend the nation against any potential threats. Iran maintains that the maneuvers are defensive in nature and intend to convey a message of peace and friendship to regional countries. It has also extended a public invitation to regional states to conduct joint naval drills with Iranian forces. | |

Iff the CVN USS JOHN C STENNIS returns, Iran warns will hold the Stennis + only the Stennis responsible for any "problems". IOW, IRAN = NORTH KOREA/JIM JONG-IL = may or may not attempt to unilaterally strike the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON = the STENNIS??? |

| #4 It's threatenable - anybody can threaten anybody. And in this case we COULD back up threats --- but we wouldn't. |
