Iran Red Line
News Analysis is popular in my house today. Also, military analysts' comments on the news. In Israel, Netanyahu has made the Red Line and the strategy for defusing the nuclear ambitions of Iran a key issue in his platform for the Israeli elections.
The Red Line implicitly holds a deadline for deciding when Iran's nuclear program has to be halted.. or else ! Unfortunately this deadline falls within the first half of 2013, but is set at different dates depending on who's talking.
Today, for the New Year 2013, which marks our first day of the year of the proposed anti-nuclear interception, Iran test fires missiles in the Strait of Hormuz.

TV said the navy also used another anti-ship missile, dubbed Noor, or Light, during the drill. It showed several missiles being fired and hitting their targets at sea. Iran’s navy issued dozens of warnings to foreign planes and warships that approached its forces during a five-day sea maneuver near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a semi-official news agency reported Tuesday. Adm. Amir Rastgari, spokesman for the exercise, said that naval and air defense forces on 30 occasions warned off reconnaissance planes, drones and warships belonging to “extraregional forces” that approached the drill.
