Iran Decides to Conduct New Round of Military Exercises

Iran has decided once again to flex what military muscle it has. A senior commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard announced today that the country’s military is going to respond to the sanctions that have been promoted by the United States and the European Union. The response includes military exercises that will last two days.

Major General Mohammad Ali said the exercises were a result of the planned oil embargo, which will come into force in July.

Iran’s combative reaction shows that Tehran’s mullahs will not tolerate pressure on their nuclear program.

Although the majority of analysts don’t see it this way, Iran’s actions are more than just a radical nation seeking regional power. Iran’s aggressive foreign policy is actually connected to a deadly ambition to thrust the world into chaos. Though is seems unlikely, Iran is positioning itself in the right place and at the right time to do exactly that.
