Iranian Military: so What’s all the Fuss About………….

“The Iranian military's prime objective is to preserve the regime and deter the US and Israel from striking, a Defense Intelligence Agency report submitted to Senate this week states. "Iran's principles of military strategy include deterrence, asymmetrical retaliation, and attrition warfare," the report says. "Iran's military strategy is designed to defend against external or 'hard' threats form the United States and Israel." Tehran's nuclear program is similarly mostly aimed for deterrence purposes, the report argues. "Iran's nuclear program and its willingness to keep open the possibility of developing nuclear weapons is a central part of its deterrent strategy," it says. …….” Ynet News (Israel)

Okay, if the goal is deterrence and regime survival, what is all the fuss about? Regime survival is the goal of all Middle Eastern regimes but without nukes.
Cheers
