Iran Preparing For War? Tehran Successfully Tests Russian S-300 Missile System During Drills

[WorthyNewsBot]

(Worthy News) - Iran's military has reportedly conducted successful tests of Russian purchased S-300 anti-aircraft missile system. The news comes amid ongoing tensions between Tehran and Washington, and soon after President Donald Trump's pledge to get tough with Iran.

Tests on effectiveness of the missile system against ballistic threats were conducted by Iran in its drill dubbed Damvand. The drill was reportedly attended by a number of high-ranking military commanders and officials.

The S-300 system was evaluated through simulated electronic warfare conditions and tested for its detection, identification, interception and target shooting capabilities, the Tasnim news agency reported Saturday. [ Source ]

Like Trump is going to attack Iran!  Iran is in an alliance with Russia, and Trump will do nothing to upset the bear.

North Korea is ran by one of the most unstable group of people with each being a bit more unstable than the last.  But even they are not dumb enough to use their nukes, they do these things because for decades when they did them we gave them money and such so they would stop doing it, a very bad foreign policy.   China will keep NK in line, China has a good thing going and they will not let NK mess it up

Not sure about that. North Korea has a sub large enough to house their ballistic missile and was said to be almost undetectable when running submerged.  I remember watch this somewhere a few days ago, but not sure where I saw it.  They have vowed to nuke the US, and this is the easiest way for them to do so.

As long as they are allies with Russia they are untouchable.

Belligerent? Iran is surrounded by enemies..Saudi Arabia, Israel, Iraq (US) and the US themselves...they are merely getting ready to defend themselves.

[heretoeternity]

That means nothing... the USA is a threat to their country and supporting the biggest exporter of terrorism on the planet Saudi Arabia, so it is logical that Iran would exercise it's sovereignty by showing it's intention to protect itself....
