In which can case fighting Somali Pirates is not relevant for Iran.
Sending the great Iranian fleet to the Red Sea will be irrelevant.
Sending the mighty Persian fleet to the Atlantic will be irrelevant.
Blocking the Straits of Hormuz, and punishing the International community for an Israeli crime, will be a big mistake, and will allow the USA and NATO to enter on the side of Israel, after the Israeli baiting action against Iran.
Iran must choose her options carefully, and think of what would be the most proper MEASURED response to an Israeli aerial attack. No thoughtless action must be taken against any Third Parties, for any Israeli attack.
As stated before since 2005, Iran needs to massively boost her air-defense systems, and lease equipment from Russia and China. AA, and SAMs. Iran needs to increase the size and capability of the airforce with indigenous production of new jet fighters. Airforce 100,000 and air-defense 150,000.........personnel.
The Artesh mobilized to 700,000 and the Pasdaran to 300,000 by March 2012, and kept at that level for several years. The Artesh moved out of their military bases, save for flags waving and spread out around the country....ready to defend Iran ONLY.
The Pasdaran moved out of their military bases, save for flags waving and spread out around the country, ready to be used in offensive operations in Lebanon, and else where against Israel.
The Great Persian navy can stay near the Iranian coast and avoid any false flag operations and confrontations with the USA and NATO. They should not waste their time fighting Somali pirates.
The mobilization of the Baseej will not be required. They should stay with their mothers.
From where does the Ariel attack come?
From Israel, over Iraq?
From Saudi Arabia, where Israeli planes have been sighted in some bases (F-15I)
From NATO Turkey?
From Georgia, which has very close security links with Israel?
From Azerbaijan, which has developed very close security links with Israel?
From Turkmenistan?
Who can say?
Certainly defense expenditure must be boosted to 15% of GDP. North Korea spends 26% of its GDP on defense and has a standing military machine of 1,200,000.......That is why despite being within the "Axis of Evil" club, and an open nuclear bomb program boasted to the world loudly....... the USA does not attack the country.
The donkey mullahs must persuade themselves to steal less money from the state petro-$ coffers, and spend more money on defense of the homeland. For it is unimaginable what angry Iranians will do to the MULLAHS, at the behest of the USA, if the country is conquered.......
What they will do to Ahmedinejad (Though I hear he has agreed on escape plans to Venezuela via Doenme Turkey as with many top Nazis to South America)....to Khamenei and the rest of the donkey dogs in Iranian security who relay messages and direction and instructions from the British and Western embassies.

Panetta Believes Israel Will Attack Iran In April, May or June
By David Ignatius at the Washington PostDefense Secretary Leon Panetta has a lot on his mind these days, from cutting the defense budget to managing the drawdown of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. But his biggest worry is the growing possibility that Israel will attack Iran over the next few months.
Panetta believes there is a strong likelihood that Israel will strike Iran in April, May or June — before Iran enters what Israelis described as a “zone of immunity” to commence building a nuclear bomb. Very soon, the Israelis fear, the Iranians will have stored enough enriched uranium in deep underground facilities to make a weapon — and only the United States could then stop them militarily.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t want to leave the fate of Israel dependent on American action, which would be triggered by intelligence that Iran is building a bomb, which it hasn’t done yet.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak may have signaled the prospect of an Israeli attack soon when he asked last month to postpone a planned U.S.-Israel military exercise that would culminate in a live-fire phase in May. Barak apologized that Israel couldn’t devote the resources to the annual exercise this spring.
