I fail to see how these exercises are indicative of the purpose or state of Iran's nuclear program; these actions are not necessarily aggressive in nature. It is only prudent for a nation to prepare itself when it looks like a larger, more aggressive nation is about to roll over it. You cannot fault the Iranians for prudence.

TEHRAN, Feb. 18 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Revolutionary Guards will stage a new round of three-day military drills from the coming Monday, the local ISNA news agency reported on Sunday.
The report quoted an official statement as saying that "20 brigades of Revolutionary Guards' ground forces will join the drills, with the most modern equipment recently distributed to them."

Sure Iran is not scared.
Sure Iran is not preparing for war.
Sure Iran's nuclear program is for peaceful purposes-:loli just can't say that without laughing out loud).
The real sad part is if Iran thinks it can win by sinking a ship or 2-even the big ones they r wrong.
That would only serve to piss off the US even more and would solidly put the whole nation behind slapping Iran down hard-IMO.

The officials showed journalists fragments of what they said were Iranian-manufactured weapons, including one part of an EFP -- which is strong enough to penetrate the armor of an Abrams tank

Iran is delusional if they think they stand a chance. Which we all know for the most part they are.

With a Democrat controlled Congress... and possibly Hillary winning the next election. WILL the U.S. even enter in a conflict with Iran?
