[quote]Tehran (CNN) -- Iranian forces began a series of airborne war games Saturday aimed at improving combat preparedness, the semiofficial Fars News Agency reported.
The drills by the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps are code-named Hamiyan-e Vellayat, or Supporters of Religious Leadership, and are taking place in the southern province of Fars, FNA said.
They are among a series of specialized war games involving the IRGC ground force, Ground Force Brig. Gen. Mohammad Pakour told FNA.
The same force conducted military exercises in eastern Iran in January, when armored units and IRGC commandos "attacked positions of the hypothetical enemy in five phases and hit enemy with heavy fire," FNA reported.
A senior commander of the IRGC told the news agency that the force has "successfully tested" its latest domestically produced military tools and equipment and achieved "positive results" testing the capabilities of armored units.[/quote]

Whats with all the war games lately? Provocation, cockwaving or just preparation.
They are trying to be ready for an invasion since they are screwing around so much, I still doubt they could take on any NATO force though.

And not just NATO. A lot of nearby neighbors would like to jump in and kick Iran around. Israel is a definite, but there's a [I]tiny tiny minuscule small itty bitty chance[/I] that the Saudis could get involved.

Preparation for intense tactical cockwaving
Tactical cockwaving incoming.

"Tactical cock incoming! It's all over!"
*bwooooosh*
They are trying to make their country's penis look bigger than the West's penis.
I'd say they have failed.
I'd be doing war games too if reports said Israel was going to attack within 3 months..
Well considering Saudi and the UAE have been begging us to "killitkillitkillit" for the past four years, I'd say that they might swat at them a bit if we become involved (hypothetically)
