Iran Producing High-Speed Assault Boats



From the monstrous mullahocracy comes a new generation of missile-launching vessels designed for defensive and offensive purposes.

AFP reports:
Iran said on Monday it has started mass production of two high-speed missile-launching assault boats for deployment along its coastline and around the key Strait of Hormuz shipping route.

The inauguration of the production lines for the Seraj and Zolfaqar speedboats comes a day after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad unveiled Iran's home-built bomber drone, which he said would deliver "death" to Iran's enemies.

Bahrain Intelligence: Terrorists Plan to Retaliate Against Kuwait, Saudi Arabia if Iran is Attacked



Arab Times reports:
Bahrain’s security service has reportedly notified its counterparts in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Gulf states about some armed terrorist groups’ plans to launch sabotage operations in these countries in case Iran is attacked due to its nuclear file, reports Al-Qabas daily.

Informed sources said the Bahraini intelligence report was prepared on the basis of confessions of a terrorist network of some 250 people arrested in Bahrain a few days ago and they reportedly admitted to belonging to a military body of a state in the region and that there is coordination between them and the sleeping cells in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

Sources said security authorities in Kuwait took this information seriously and are taking necessary security measures and precautions.

According to sources, these terrorist groups are trained to clash with special forces and riot police, and 40-50 groups trained to launch violent and sabotage operations are in Kuwait. “The plan of these sabotage groups is to begin with a peaceful demonstration denouncing the military aggression against Iran in the event of a strike and then start acts of violence and set fire to institutions and enterprises; bomb electrical transformers, other infrastructure and raid malls in order to create public disorder,” said the sources.

Iran Unveils Long-Range Bomber Drone


Iran's military has unveiled a new unmanned aircraft, saying the drone is capable of carrying out long-range missions.

Iran's military displayed the drone Sunday at a ceremony attended by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and shown on live television. Click on the above link to view the video.

Officials told Iran's state-run Press TV that the drone, named the Karrar, meaning "striker", can carry out long-distance bombing runs against ground targets at high speeds.

Iran's defense minister, Ahmed Vahidi, said the Karrar had a range of up to 620 miles--not far enough to reach Israel.

Iranian state TV reported that the drone could carry four cruise missiles, two 250-lb bombs or one 500-lb bomb.


'Ambassador of Death'

The Associated Press quoted Ahmadinejad as saying the new drone was an "ambassador of death" to Iran's enemies. The Iranian Students News Agency described the unmanned aircraft as a "stealth bomber drone."

Late Saturday, Ahmadinejad told a group of academics that Iran aims to send Iranian astronauts into space by 2025. He said the country's next step is to launch satellites to an altitude of 700 kilometers, and then 1,000 kilometers, in the next three years.

On Friday, Iran test-fired a new surface-to-surface missile called the Qiam-1.

Earlier this month, Iran's navy displayed four new Iranian-built submarines, as part of Tehran's efforts to boost its defense capabilities.

Iranian media said the navy now has 11 Ghadir-class stealth submarines that can operate in the shallow waters of the Persian Gulf (also known as the Arabian Gulf).


QUESTION:
Could the new drone be launched from a cargo ship? iran and North Korea have developed and tested a system for launching ballistic missiles from freighters and other vessels. Thousands of cargo ships approach U.S. coastal waters every day ... which could matter if Iran makes good on repeated threats to retaliate globally if it is attacked by Israel.

NOTE:
As reported here, the U.S. Navy has acquired a laser weapon capable of shooting down drones. Nice work, says one expert, but much more needs to be done, for future wars will necessitate naval defense against so-called swarming attacks--multiple weapons and assaults aimed at a single ship.

IRAN MOVES INTO VENEZUELA TO STAY

John Thomson reports:
Venezuela’s Ministry of Mines and Energy has long operated a sophisticated laboratory staffed by experienced local technical personnel. Several years ago, Iranian advisors started working at the lab; today, the entire staff is Iranian to the chagrin of former Venezuelan employees.

The lab analyzes uranium samples and provides reports to Iranian nuclear program staff. The Caracas laboratory is a small but important part of what has become a major undertaking by Iran in Venezuela: exploration, mining and refining of Venezuelan uranium for its nuclear program.
