Also today on Presstv; "The threat of a US military attack may only be ruled out once the presidency of George W. Bush ends," said the Iranian military official who believes a US attack in 2008 is probable.

I don't know about you guys, but if an Iranian military official predicts an ominous war, then I have no hope for the future. We are all doomed. Sad

PressTv was downplaying a chance of an attack only yesterday (relaying a report from a UK think tank).

Not looking good.

this 'threat' from Russia could be the key to some kind of peaceful resolution.

My first thought when I read the story about Iran test-firing a long range missile was that if they're trying to convince the world they're not seeking nuclear technology for military use, they're going about it the wrong way. But in light of the quote above, it sounds like they're doing a little chest-beating, showing how capable they are militarily in hopes of deterring any pre-emptive military action against them.

I agree about the "little chest-beating" .. in western terminology, they are trying to have a deterrence capability.

Chiming with this, in the last 6 weeks, there has been a recent huge spike in stories coming out of Iran about their indigenous military capabilities
