TEHRAN, Iran - Iran plans to conduct missile war games during a three-day period beginning Sunday, state-run television reported.
The war games will be carried out near Garmsar city, about 60 miles southeast of Tehran, according to the broadcast.
"Zalzal and Fajr-5 missiles will be test fired in the war game," the broadcast quoted an unnamed military commander, as saying. Both are considered short-range missiles.
The exercise will be the first by Iran since the U.N. Security Council imposed sanctions on December 23, which banned selling materials and technology that could be used in Iran's nuclear and missile programs and the freezing of assets of 10 Iranian companies and individuals.
Earlier in November Iran test-fired dozens of missiles — including the Shahab-3 that can reach Israel.
Iran held three large-scale military exercises last year. In its April exercises, Iran tested what it called an "ultra-horizon" missile, which is fired from helicopters and jets, and the Fajr-3 missile, which can reportedly evade radar and use multiple warheads to hit several targets simultaneously.
Just a heads-up.
They have done this fairly frequently in the past, not sure one can read anything into this latest round other than that.
Ain't gonna be a 'game' anymore. We're fixin' to play 'Cowboys and muslims' with the muzzies. ............. FRegards
Good Catch,Norm,,,Moozzi Gunna "Foo-Foo" the NAVY,?
NOT!!!
;0)
Finally, some progress...
A game of intramural missile "chicken" sounds like fun.
I hope all they do is to polish the cannon balls, I seriously doubt they can do any precise targeting and all their practice rounds will just make it worse when they do use them. There may just be a bit of copycat like when NOKOR fired off their missiles like a premature ejaculation and then became the laughingstock of third world countries.

154 Tomahawks on ONE SSGN sounds like a GREAT start...
