Defiant Iran holds ‘massive’ missile drill day after US sanctions
Iranian VP calls for calm dialogue, but Revolutionary Guards general threatens ‘if the enemy makes a mistake, our missiles will land on them’
From Wochit Politics
Iran is holding a military exercise on Saturday to test its missile and radar systems. This comes a day after U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration imposed sanctions on Tehran for its recent ballistic missile test. Iranian state news agencies reported that home-made missile systems, radars, command and control centers, and cyber warfare systems will be tested in the drill. Trump’s national security adviser Michael Flynn said Washington was putting Iran on notice over its “destabilising activity”, and Trump tweeted Tehran was “playing with fire”

“The massive drills are being held in an area of 35,000 square kilometers, and are aimed at demonstrating Iran’s power, intelligence command, and defense readiness to counter any threats,” Iran’s Fars News Agency reported.
“If the enemy makes a mistake, our missiles will land on them,” General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who is overseeing the drills, was quoted as saying by the Guards’ official site.
“Different types of missile and radar systems, which are designed and manufactured by Iranian experts and engineers with diverse ranges, were used during the exercises,” Fars said. “The missile systems used in the drills,” it specified, “included Khordad-III missile system with a range of 75 kilometers and capability of targeting several targets at the same time, Tabas missile system with a range of 60 kilometers also capable of hitting multiple enemy targets and Sayyad-II missile system with range of 75 kilometers and capable of confronting the enemy’s electronic warfare.”
At the same time, Iran’s vice president on Saturday urged calm heads to prevail.
“These are worn-out accusations against Iran and even the (accuser) himself is ashamed of saying it,” state news agency IRNA quoted Eshagh Jahangiri as saying.
“If this nation is talked to respectfully and issues are resolved through negotiations and dialogue… it can be a win for everyone.”
Relations between Washington and Tehran have deteriorated sharply since Donald Trump took office last month promising a tough line on what he sees as Iranian belligerency towards US interests and allies.
Hours after the new US sanctions were announced, Pentagon chief James Mattis charged that Iran was “the single biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.”
The new sanctions are the first of Trump’s presidency and target what US officials say is Iran’s weapons procurement network in Lebanon and China.
They are a response to Iran’s test launch of a medium-range ballistic missile last Sunday as well as its support for Yemeni rebels who attacked a Saudi frigate earlier this week, the officials said.
Iran’s medium-range missiles can reach 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles), sufficient to strike Israel or US bases in the Gulf.
But the Revolutionary Guards said that the missiles deployed for Saturday’s exercise would only be of very short range — up to 75 kilometres (47 miles.)
They said the maneuvers in the northeastern province of Semnan were aimed at demonstrating their “complete preparedness to deal with the threats” and “humiliating sanctions” from Washington.
“Different types of domestically produced radar and missile systems, command and control centers, and cyber warfare systems will be used in this exercise,” the Guards’ website said.

ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED?
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PREP YOU CAN DO!
The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.
Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?
God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.
You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.
Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins. Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you.
And so it is with every new U.S. administration. Geopolitical players around the world try to impress the new chief executive with their bravado and at the same time test his/her reactions and limits. Expect a couple of months more of this theater.
