Saturday marked the Army Day In Iran. It featured a display of new weapons and a truck carrying a massive banner reading “Death to Israel.”

A televised broadcast of the parade was punctuated by repeated cries of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” “If Israel makes a mistake,” the announcer on Iran television said during the broadcast, as heavy trucks carrying armored personnel carriers rolled past, “those in Tel Aviv and Haifa will not sleep at night, not one person.

President Hassan Rouhani, attended the procession south of the capital Tehran, which showcased the country’s military technologies.

Among the weapons systems paraded was a domestically produced version of the Russian S-300 anti-aircraft missile.

down with USA sign in IranTehran decided to design its own version of the S-300 missile, the Bavar 373, following a postponement by Russia of the sale of the anti-aircraft weaponry to Iran five years ago. Earlier this week, Russia announced it would finally lift the ban and deliver S-300 systems to Iran, in a move that would give the Islamic Republic’s military a strong deterrent against any air attack.

On Wednesday, Iranian Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan stated that the Bavar 373 air missile shield possesses similar features to the Russian S-300, Fars reported. The Iranian news outlet said that the Iranian missile system has “increased mobility, agility and reduced launch-preparation time” than its Russian counterpart.

Israel protested the planned Russian supply .Israel fears the S-300s would complicate any military intervention as a last resort to thwart Iran’s nuclear drive. It also fears Iran could supply the missile defense systems to Syria or Hezbollah.
Israel warned Russia that it will arm the Ukrainians if Russia supplies the S300 to Ukraine

Putin warns Israel

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Israel against supplying weapons to the Ukrainian government, which is battling a Russian- backed insurgency in its eastern province.

“This is a choice, a choice of the Israeli leadership; they have the right to do what they consider appropriate. I think it is counterproductive, if it concerns lethal weapons, because it will only lead to yet another swirl of confrontation, to more human casualties, but the result will be the same,” Putin said in an interview on Rossiya 1 TV on Saturday.

    Would you say that Iran is a country that the US can deal with??? Iran’s national slogan and past-time chanting Death to/Down with ….. fill in the blanks with which ever country Iran is usually hating at the moment. They have no idea how badly these actions reflect on them.

      The chanters of death slogans are the loud ones, not the majority.
      All of this is internal propaganda… And total bulshit.
      So not only in a couple of years they built their own S300 but they made it even better than the Russians. Who believes this crap?
      Not even the Iranians…

          That’s because both the Israeli media and the heavily censored Iranian media don’t want you to see the real face of Iran.
          I know they’re mostly in Farsi but there is a ton of opposition websites, and the movement altogether is growing in influence and power with every IRGC body bag returning home, and there’s a lot of these lately.

        Most who watch Iran know that the people have no power even if the majority hate Khamenei mullah government there is nothing they can do to prevent the fanatical minority from dragging Iran to the brink of disaster. Now with mullahs irrational actions throughout the region and the imminent failure of the nuclear deal, it looks even bleaker for the average Iranian. I feel bad for them but they need to change it themselves.

          Of course they have power, and this is why when you look at all the “new” weapons that the iranian army showcased during the parade you will notice that all these weapons are… drum rolls, anti-riot!!!
          Are they going to fight Israel with anti-riot vehicles? No, they’re getting ready to fight their own people.
          The iranian people dealt a major blow to the mullahs and their entire system of governance during the presidential elections. They went to the streets cheering for the draft nuclear deal that we hardly could hear the hardliners complaints or take them seriously under the chants and numbers of moderates dreaming of a better life.
          In case of riots, Khameneii can count on 2 bodies to preserve his reign. The paramilitary basij and the revolutionary guard. The later is being hammered on all foreign fronts which will undoubtedly bring it to collapse after a still coming series of defeats.
          The Basij, while great in numbers won’t be able to fight against the army even if divided and the majority of Iranians.
          I may sound optimistic but Iran has been in a checkmate situation for quite some time now. All we see now is the king jumping from one place to another sacrificing a peon after another in a hopeless attempt to get, not a victory, but a simple tie.

    What a blow to Obama. I guess Iran is happy to have Russia, and North Korea as its best friends . If Obama doesn’t get the message by now , then America has a problem.
