Air Defense Drills

Iran is conducting war games to make sure that the quality of the airforce is good and introducing new domestic technology that will enable them to protect themselves against possible threats.  I do not know if we should be concerned, but I have a feeling that they know they will likely be attacked in the near future.  If Israel and Iran would just talk things out, I am pretty sure that war will not occur.  Also Iran will need to prove that they are not building nuclear weapons in order to feel secure.  I do believe that Iran having a nuclear weapons could be a problem because the leaders are the radicals that helped overthrow the Shah in 1979.  They were the ones that did not want society to modernize because they believe that Islam is not compatible with modernization.  I think the US and Israel do have the right to worry and the rest of the middle east is worried too.  

Iran is stepping on thin ice at the moment because they are going to have alliance issues.  China and Russia are not going to save their butts if Israel attacks and Syria is in a civil war. They do have a couple allies, but I do not think that is going to be enough for them to defeat two strong militaries.
