Iran Unveils Advanced Military Hardware After Nuke Talks Fail - Adam Kredo - http://freebeacon.com/national-security/iran-unveils-advanced-military-hardware-after-nuke-talks-fail/
New cruise missiles, torpedoes, warships, combat helicopters unveiled
Iran on Monday unveiled new missiles, torpedoes, and warships just a week after nuclear negotiations between Tehran and the West broke apart with little headway made between the sides.
The new military hardware was widely publicized by Iranian military leaders following an order by Supreme Leader Ali Khamanei urging the country's armed forces to step up their combat readiness despite an extension in nuclear talks with the West.
The Iranian Navy displayed a crop of new vessels equipped with cruise missiles and other rockets. Also unveiled were new attack helicopters "equipped with Iran's latest home-grown torpedoes," according to Iranian military leaders quoted by the country's state-controlled press.
The show of force is likely meant to send a message to the United States and other Western nations following another failed round of talks over Iran's contested nuclear weapons program.
Iran is pushing for the West to formally recognize its right to enrich uranium, the key component in a nuclear weapon, while Western powers are seeking to limit the scope and secrecy of the program.
The tough rhetoric from Tehran is being backed up by a show of military force focusing on Iran's ability to domestically produce a range of advanced weaponry, including cruise missiles.
"10 Navy vessels have or are being armed with missile systems," Rear Admiral Abbas Zamini, the Iranian Navy's technical affairs chief, announced during a military ceremony on Monday, according to Iran's Fars News Agency.
"These missiles include Nasr, Nour, and Qader cruise missiles," Zamini was quoted as saying.
Iranian Army Commander, Major General Ataollah Salehi, additionally bragged that Iran's "missiles, rockets, and artilleries" are "the best" during the ceremony.
"Today all our units, including subsurface, vessel, and air units are equipped with the best missiles, rockets and artilleries," he was quoted as saying.
The new missile-armed warships will be deployed to southern Iran and include "Sirik-class and Kalat-class warships, as well as 4 Fajr, Shams, Fath, and Nour vessels," according to Fars.
"All these vessels which were used in logistical and sea patrolling missions before have been equipped with surface-to-surface cruise missiles now," Fars reported military leaders as saying.
The Navy also unveiled two new anti-subsurface helicopters, along with new hovercrafts, anti-surface helicopters, and a sea patrol aircraft "equipped with Iran's latest home-grown torpedoes," according to Fars.
These torpedoes are diverse and can also be fired from submarines or surface vessels.
Iran announced last week that it is using several new combat and radar systems.
As the new hardware was displayed, Iranian military leaders stepped up their rhetoric, stating that Iran will do what it pleases in international waters.
"The countries which are deployed in the Gulf of Aden region are members of a military pact but we act (in that region) independent from others and are after the establishment of peace and friendship," Salehi was quoted as saying on Monday.
Khamenei said over the weekend during a televised speech that the negotiations provide Iran time to "build up on preemptive capacities."
"Peacetime offers great opportunities for our armed forces to ... build up on preemptive capacities," Khamenei reportedly said.
"Given our vast maritime borders and the enemy's huge investments in this area, our armed forces should continuously improve their [combat] readiness, irrespective of political calculations," the supreme leader added.
The Iranian mosaic and prophetic storm - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com
The White House and State Department have been in negotiations for over a year with one of the foremost state sponsors of terrorism in the world--Iran. In doing so, the "president" broke a longstanding policy dating back to 1979 that no US president in an official or unofficial capacity would negotiate with a terrorist. Now I am not saying that the US president is bringing about the Ezekiel 38 prophecy. But he is assisting it in aligning the nations against Israel. And that does not bode well for the United States or the people living here because there is destruction prophesied for the nations that work against Israel. Under this president, America can be counted among them.
Iran is consistent on its nuclear policy. For over a decade, Iran has publicly stated that there should be no nuclear weapons in the Middle East. It has consistently called on the UN and Israel itself to expose Israel's alleged nuclear arsenal. The Iranian government policy has been to publicly deny any intent to build a nuclear weapon while privately working as fast as possible to develop a nuclear weapon and the delivery system to use it. For this administration, either through Secretary of State John Kerry or the White House, to believe Iran will change its strategic direction on Middle East dominance is folly. For the leader of the free world to negotiate with terrorists endangers the entire world.
Moreover, this administration's favor of Islam--from appointing Muslim Brotherhood Islamists to high positions in the US government to aiding and abetting the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda in overthrowing governments across Northern Africa and the Middle East--points to a very destructive foreign policy that puts the American people in the eye of a prophetic storm. Ezekiel 38 is very specific on the nations that come against Israel in the end times. They include Turkey, Iran, Sudan, Libya and regions in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria and Jordan. This particular White House has been courting both sides of the Sunni and Shiite Islamic political system. All of them are involved in destructive prophetic destiny.
Zechariah 12:9 says, "And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy the nations that come against Jerusalem." The White House is on a foreign policy path that will result in destruction. No good can come of it. We know this because God's word is prophetic and true. We are on the wrong side of prophecy. We are also on the wrong side of history in supporting anything Islam. 1 John 2:22 says, "Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is an antichrist that denies the Father and the Son." Islam vehemently denies that Jesus is the Messiah and that God has a son. Proverbs 29:2 says, "but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." Putting this mosaic together, a prophetic storm continues to form.
