Introduction \u2013 Sept 15, 2019<\/h1>\n

Although Pompeo has blamed Iran for the drone strike on the Saudi oil facility we don\u2019t think the U.S. will respond militarily.<\/h5>\n
Iran has spent the past few years preparing for just such an eventuality. It saw how recent Western military campaigns in the region have been spearheaded by cruise missiles and air strikes. In response it has developed its own air defence system, which now pose a real threat to Western air strikes.<\/h5>\n

In particular the Bavar 373 would pose a serious challenge. According to the Russian aviation publication Avia.Pro<\/a><\/span>, the indigenously developed system not only equals but surpasses the Russian S-300<\/a><\/span>.<\/h5>\n
Together with its own locally developed radars and short and medium range air defence systems, Iran can now confidently confront the threat of air strikes. U.S. military commanders know this, which is why Donald Trump called off air strikes<\/a><\/span> in retaliation for Iran\u2019s recent downing of a U.S. Global Hawk drone.<\/h5>\n
Although Trump claims he called off the strikes because he thought it a disproportionate response<\/a><\/span> for the loss of the drone, he may have had other reasons. For we strongly suspect that the U.S. military \u201cadvised\u201d him against launching a strike.<\/h5>\n
A group of 76 retired U.S. generals, admirals, ambassadors and senior officials have warned Trump<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 against conflict with Iran, and we suspect that the current U.S. military command share their view.<\/h5>\n
