Counter-Attack from Iran

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/world/2012-06/30/c_131686843.htm

So I decided to do my daily check up on Iran as usual and found this to be somewhat interesting, Iran says that if they are attacked that they are going to do a counterattack.  Okay so I do not think that the world was expecting Iran to sit on their hands while Israel attacks them and do nothing.  I think the world expects them to attack back, but the question is how effective would their attack be?  That is probably the main point of the article.  They say that they are prepared to attack in different ways and can do multiple versions of attack.  Israel is pretty powerful so I honestly do not know how they are going to fair.  If Iran decides to attack in Tel Aviv with missiles it will be pointless because they have a very effective missile defense system.  They have been attacked by multiple countries at one time and defeated them so I think they will be ready.  Are your troops well equipped and are you well equipped to defeat them? 

I guess we will be finding out soon enough.   

Iran Increasing Military Presence

The article above basically states that Iran is going to build more ships.  To be specific they are planning on building more destroyers and missile launching ships (obviously I am not a ship person or part of the Navy).  Anyways, Iran claims that they are building these ships to protect there economic interests and the cargoes of oil from Somalia Pirates in international waters.  Honestly, I hope President Obama and the rest of the world take note of this action and watch them very carefully.  Especially, since Iran has decided to suspend talks with Israel and they will be glad to bock the Strait of Hormuz if they are attacked.  Not like the US has too much to worry about since 18% of our oil comes from the Middle East or mainly Saudi Arabia.  Saudi Arabia will not be too happy if Israel attacks because that means revenue will go down, but they are probably going to hope that Iran will resume talks.  

I really hope that Obama begins to think about the actions that he is going to have to take if he is reelected because whoever is president is going to have to think fast and get the military ready.  The United States is not going to be fighting with Israel against Iran, but they are going to have to protect ships and interests if a war is going to occur.  Also Iran might mine the strait so they are going to have send in minesweepers to prevent ships from being blown up or submarines.  

I hope that are leaders are ready for whatever Iran is about to throw at the world, the US, and Israel.  People will likely just ignore it, but when things go up in flames don't say that you were not warned.  Like I said before Israel and Iran already had issues and it is no surprise that they are threatening war.
