Iran tells Turkey: Change tack or face trouble
2011-10-09
TEHRAN  -- Turkey must radically rethink its policies on Syria, the NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions...
missile shield, and promoting Mohammedan secularism in the Arab world -- or face trouble from its own people and neighbors, a key aide to Iran's supreme leader said on Saturday.
So much for the reproachment...
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's military adviser described Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's invitation to Arab countries to adopt Turkish-style democracy as "unexpected and unimaginable," speaking in an interview with the semi-official Mehr news agency.

#5  IIRC HISTOIRE' > Ancient Persia = post-Shah Revolutionary Iran prefer fighting their wars in the Summer NLT early Fall.

It will invol mass units or formations, includ Elite MILSPECWAR + "People's Resistance" organz networks [Basij], + strategic campaigns dedicated to the capture = recovery of large swathes of territory, sovereign To Iran or other.

IT WILL NOT BE JUST POST-911 AFGHANISTAN OR LEBANON 2006, AS ANY US MIL FORCE WILL FACE + FIGHT ARMED PROFESSIONAL IRANIAN MIL UNITS.

And again, IRAN will most likely stay on the Diplomatic, Military defensive, at least initially, + wait for the US or US-led Coalition's ground = conventional forces to mil attack, invade and attempt to occupy its soil, hence "justifying" proxy terror attack(s) agz CONUS + the US Govt.
