Just when you thought the world wasn’t dangerous enough, Iran is conducting war games to practice protecting their nuclear plants against attack from Israel or the US. The five day drill is said to cover as much as a third of the country and would involve much of the armed forces of the nation.
This is not exactly good news, though it is hardly unexpected. With Iran moving towards the development of nuclear weapons it is probable that Israel will be looking to stop them. Indeed there has beeen considerable speculation that some of the recent US/Russian foreign policy initiatives have been geared towards making sure that Israel is able to get away with doing what the rest of the world cannot.
There is of course the broader question of whether or not Iran should be stopped, on the one hand I am certainly not a fan of them having weapons of mass destruction but at the same time we have to measure the risks and rewards of stopping them.
I suspect this will be a topic of considerable discussion in the coming months.
