Despite ongoing nuclear negotiations,
Iran’s military appears to anticipate
going to war against the US.

As Iran and the P5+1 negotiate a final deal
regarding the Islamic Republic’s nuclear
program and the lifting of sanctions on
Iran, a high-ranking Iranian general
declared that its forces are ready to wage
battle with the US.
In an interview on Iranian TV earlier this
month, Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)
Deputy Commander Brigadier General
Hossein Salami threatened the Americans,
saying: “We welcome war with the
Americans,” MEMRI (Middle East Media
Research Institute) reported.
“I tell the Americans again…that the age in
which political superiority is gained through
threats, intimidation and even military force
has come to an end. The Americans should
compare their past military victories over
feeble armies…with the outcome and
consequence of confronting the great of
Islamic Iran,” said the general.
The US aircraft carriers would be destroyed,
its air bases in the region burned and the
skies set ablaze, he said. “We have built our
strength for the purpose of long, extended
wars… more than for the purpose of peace,
compromise, and dialogue with them,”
Salami stressed.

The Iranian armed forces have recently
conducted several large-scale military drills,
including those specifically simulating war
with US forces.
During a naval exercise in February, the
Iranian navy fired two ballistic missiles that
blew up an Iranian-built, life-size replica of
a US aircraft carrier. The target was
completely destroyed by the missiles,
reports say.
The drill included maritime mine operations
by speedboats as well as the firing of four
coast-to-sea missiles in the strategic Persian
Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz.
Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, RGC’s navy
commander, stated last April that “the
Americans and the entire world know that
the American navy is one of our targets,
and it will take us 50 seconds to destroy
every US warship.”

nwafuluozoh:
Maybe war with Iran will keep the US busy and out of Nigeria's business.

NeduLuiZ:

America's time of world power is gradually coming to an end. Nobody wants to take orders anymore

Appleyard:
Except they have some secret weapons lurking behind closed doors, or without an overt involvement by the Russians, the Iranians stand no chance against the US.

AND THAT IS A FACT!

panafrican:
Public relations not more not less.
It is just a political statement meant to show to the Iranian people that their government did not bow to the U.S. during the nuclear deal.

Craigston:
Obviously, they're not acting alone. Russia has also been dishing out threats recently. China's alliance with Russia is a big threat (Russia alone is a strong force against the US and so is China). These countries are forming coalitions not out of cultural compatibility and genuine interest but to end the reign of their common enemy.
