Iran’s Mersad Missile Defense System

Iran has commenced production on its Mersad Missile Defense System, an advanced mid-range missile system. The rogue state has made its intentions clear. Last week, the country went public with its displeasure toward Russia. It seems the former Soviet Union is dragging its feet on the deal to deliver S-300 missiles. Iran also said it will continue to build its systems to defend against possible pre-emptive strikes from Israel and the U.S.
As if it weren’t already obvious, Iran is also displeased with President Barack Obama’s Nuclear Posture Review.
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said, “The U.S. president has implicitly threatened the Iranian nation with nuclear weapons. These remarks are very strange. The world should not ignore it because in the 21st century, … the head of a state is threatening a nuclear attack. The U.S. president’s remarks are disgraceful. These remarks mean the U.S. government is a villain government that can’t be trusted.” (Source)
Obama’s nuclear strategy is to limit the circumstances in which the U.S. would launch a nuclear weapon and cease development of new nuclear warheads. The review calls for more reductions for Russia and the U.S. Obama also announced that the U.S. won’t use nuclear weapons against countries that don’t have them, except against Iran and North Korea.
That gives strong and comprehensive missile defense advocates a little comfort, but only a little.
