I've Been Thinking:

Iran announced that they will conduct 5 days of war games beginning this Tuesday. They promised to unveil new, home made missiles proving that the Iranians do not need the Russia S-300.

We will be watching these maneuvers.

Iran will strut like a peacock. Even if there are misfires and failures, the Iranians will proclaim these games a great success.

Iran is constantly engaging in these war games. Last November they conducted similar tests. In September, they conducted war games in the Caspian Sea. In October, they joined Turkey and China in a set of war games that should have sent the Western world for a double loop.

The West is not investing enough time, energy or thought into the back story of Iran. These maneuvers are very much an integral part of that story.
