Currently, a military exercise is taking place in Iran, involving firing rockets of range 2000 kilometers that can reach "Israel". We talked about this with Professor Uzi Rabi, head of the Middle East Department at Tel Aviv University, and an expert on "Israeli" missiles and we asked him for his opinion on these rockets, he said that the range of these missiles is in fact something we can talk about it.
"The Iranians are trying to show, with some strength and muscle, that if the ban was imposed on oil at the end of the day, as happened two days ago, then the Iranians will likely respond and impede the freedom of navigation in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz," he said.
"I think there is in this drill an evidence of what is happening in Iran, and as mentioned during the year, the sanctions and the economic crisis in Iran deepened and some in Iran are comparing the situation of with Iraq in the days of Saddam Hussein to what is happening in Iran today."
"I want to give a title for we have said, we are now in the month of July, we said that the Americans are seeking a calm situation until November, the Iranians want to remove the sanctions, but the gap is too large to be settled, and I reiterate, we will be experiencing 4-5 months of escalating tension," Rabi said.
In response to a question about the possibility of an attack on Iran, Rabbi doesn't believe that there will be a military operation, but believes that what is put on the table is the crippling sanctions. "There is an estimate that Iran will pull back because the sanctions, we will see what Iran will do, but in all cases we are expecting a mounting tension in November, and, yes, we have to say this, in such tension between these types of players, things can get out of control so I think that the situation is so explosive and the second half of 2012, as mentioned above, can be the time to resolve all issues."
For his part, Dr. Eli Karmon, an expert on terrorism at the center of the multi-domains in Herzliya, said that Iran is continuing to expose its muscles in the maneuver, dozens of long range land-to-land rockets and medium and short ranged missiles were launched this morning in the scope of the Revolutionary Guards in Iran maneuver and, among other things, missiles capable of reaching "Israel" were launched. This [exercise] is taking place in parallel of the arrest of two Iranian agents in Kenya, who planned to hit "Israeli" targets. "they have been executing this since three years in July and August, and the missiles they tested today are known, the only thing new is that perhaps a few days ago an air Force leader claimed that the new rockets can penetrate the Iron Dome," said Karmon, "I think that Iran wants to expose its muscles to "Israel" first, to the West and the United States and show nothing can stop them despite the Economic, political and even military pressures, because they say that the United States brought more naval forces to the Gulf.

"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed during his talks with the leaders of the coalition that he is prepared to punish draft dodgers. "Jerusalem Post" reported on its website that Netanyahu has discussed earlier with his deputy, Shaul Mofaz - in a one-hour meeting - the issue of finding an alternative to Tal law.
In the end of the meeting they agreed on the continuation of talks in this regard. The "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing a crisis of disobedience and evasion from enlistment after the Pelsner committee, that is recommended to finding an alternative to the law of conscription law, recommended that 80% of the ultra-Orthodox Jews should be conscripted in the army. It is noteworthy that the Tal Law exempts religious people from performing military service.
