ASSociated Press: Iran: Defenses Can Withstand Any Invasion
A top Iranian military official said Tuesday the country can now defend itself against any invasion originating from outside the region – a clear reference to the United States – as it tested a second new radar-avoiding missile.
The new surface-to-sea missile is equipped with remote-control and searching systems, state-run television reported. It said the new missile, called Kowsar after the name of a river in paradise, was a medium-range weapon that Iran had the capability to mass-produce.
It also asserted that the Kowsar’s guidance system could not be scrambled, and that it had been designed to sink ships.
Shortly after the test, the chief of the elite Revolutionary Guards, Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, warned that Iran was now able to “confront any extra-regional invasion,” referring to the United States without mentioning it by name.

Iran would best to stand down their nuclear weapon program and develop peaceful nuclear power for their citizens.
Stay tuned……..
