Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards will hold missile defense exercises on the upcoming Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, Iranian media reported on Saturday.
The announcement of the war games coincided with increased tension in Iran's nuclear dispute with the West, after the Islamic Republic disclosed that it is building a second uranium enrichment plant.
The reports did not say what kind of missiles would be used in the war games, which will start on Sunday, the eve of Yom Kippur. In May, Iran said it had tested a missile that defense analysts said could hit Israel and U.S. bases in the Gulf.

“Iran to hold missile defense exercise on Yom Kippur”
Did somebody think they were consulting the jewish calendar?
Good thing we laid off the Iraqis during Ramadan out of respect for their “religion”. The Muslims seem to be impressed with that move.

They should bomb Iran while Mahmoud is in NYC, then have his entire delegation arrested.
OH, wait, that would require a Republican in office...silly me.

I noticed that you too are thinking “when” rather than “if”.
I seem to remember another time when Israels neighbors decided to become aggressive around Yom Kippur.
Yom Kippur is the day the Cohan HaGadol (Great High Priest), came FACE TO FACE with God, known as Yom HaPeduth The “Day of Redemption”...
And we also have this:
Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the “day of redemption”.
Uh, hint to Achmedinnerjacket’s boys: Y’all got you a$$es kicked the last you tried that. ‘member?
