I've Been Thinking:

Iran finished an air force drill on Friday.
The exercise began on Monday.
The objective was to test the readiness of the Iranian air force and the capabilities of Iranian land to air systems.

The main reason for the drill was internal Iranian and inner Muslim propaganda.
Secondary was the threat of an upcoming attack from the United States and or from Israel.
Iran wanted to show their own soldiers and people that they are prepared.

Along the way, they also gave everyone else who was watching a peek at some of the weapons that they have and some of the means that they will use to stop an attack.
But that was not the prime objective.
This was an exercise to shore up the Iranian people and the army.
It was meant to be a psychological boost, to lift the people to the heights of the rhetoric they are being bombarded with from their leaders.

My assessment:
Iran has decent defense systems, but should it ever come to that, those systems can and will be breached by Israel.
