Iran has announced three days of military tests and its president says no number of UN resolutions will change the country’s stance on nuclear development.Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday: "The UN resolution was born dead and even if they adopt 10 more of such resolutions it will not affect Iran's economy and policies."
Iran's military manoeuvres come days after the US announced that it would deploy a second aircraft carrier, the USS Stennis, to the Gulf.
An unnamed Iranian military commander said: "The manoeuvre is aimed at evaluating defensive and fighting capabilities of the missiles."
In November, Iran test-fired dozens of missiles, including the Shahab-3 which can reach Israel, in exercises it said were aimed at putting a stop to the role of world powers in the Gulf region.
One down, two to go on the axis of evil count.
