World "A new short range anti-Cruise defense system with the capability to fire 4,000 rounds of bullets per minute has been produced at the defense ministry and soon will be inaugurated," Ahmad Vahidi said on semi-official Fars news agency. "We are at the design and production phase of various defense systems in the short, medium and long-range categories," he added, citing the Mersad air defense and Shahin missile defense systems. Cruise missiles are guided missiles that operate at low level to evade radar detection. They can fly up to supersonic speeds carrying either conventional or nuclear warheads. The U.S. administration said last month that Iran and North Korea were excluded from new limits on the use of U.S. atomic weapons -- something Tehran interpreted as a threat from a long-standing adversary to attack it with nuclear bombs. Though the Islamic Republic seeks self-sufficiency in missile defense, it is urging Russia to resist Western pressure not to deliver the S-300 missile defense system it has ordered. Washington is pressing other global powers to agree to a fourth round of U.N. sanctions against Iran over its refusal to halt nuclear work that the West suspects is aimed at making bombs, a charge Iran denies. Iran held military exercises in the Gulf waterway and Strait of Hormuz last month in an apparent bid to show its readiness for any attack by Israel or the United States. Analysts said it was also a message to U.S.-allied Gulf Arab states, which offer military facilities to U.S. forces. Iran has said it would respond to any attack by targeting U.S. interests in the region and Israel, as well as closing the Strait of Hormuz. About 40 percent of the world's traded oil leaves the Gulf region through the strategic narrows.

Quite an understandable and legitimate desire, don’t you think? Heretic1 Report As Abusive May 02, 2010 9:42am EDT So let’s see,Israel is threating to attack Iran continously. Iran should sit and wait for attck? Israel had attacked Gaza in 2008 killing over 1400 mostly non combattants. In 2006 Israel killed 1600 in Lebanon.Again mostly civillians. Israel with some 200 Nuclear weapons has the right to defend itself,but none others do? Israel also posseses large stores of Chemical and Biological WMD that nobody seems to mention. Big question is why should the US TAXpayer be bankrolling Israel as it heads into APARTHIED??? GOLUM Report As Abusive May 02, 2010 10:09am EDT GOLUM wonderfully presented the situation. Israel has become an aggressive and paranoid colinial power. I do hope that either it will radically change its behavior, or the international community will hold it accountable.
