Iran has great importance to naval construction, left for the 2010 In February, Iran’s first domestic navy destroyer “Jia Malan” in the Persian Gulf to participate in the exercise. Recently, the Iranian Navy officials announced that Iran plans to design and manufacture of aircraft carriers. CFP for map

Recently, the U.S. and Iran, the war of words but of Sudi was upgraded trend. A few days ago, a high-profile U.S. officials announced that Iranian agents foiled assassination plot Saudi ambassador to the U.S.. Subsequently, the U.S. Department of Justice Minister publicly said that the Iranian government drafted, planned and directed the plot. U.S. President Barack Obama said he would take the most severe sanction Iran, and to mobilize the international community to further isolate Iran. In this regard, Iran quickly denied any involvement in this incident, calling it “baseless farce” that the United States attempted to provoke ridiculous disputes between States, not in the region and to divert the world’s problems on the United States attention.

In fact, the infighting between the United States and Iran has not stopped. More recently, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has also thrown on the United Nations General Assembly of the United States is “9.11″ behind the sensational views; followed by the Iranian navy spokesman said that the U.S. will deploy warships near the Atlantic Ocean in retaliation for U.S. warships to the Persian Gulf Iranian maritime border cruising; Moreover, the Iranian Navy plans to build aircraft carriers claim has been approved, manufacturing engineering is about to begin. If the aircraft carrier built in Iran will be the sole owner of the aircraft carrier in the Middle East countries. So, Iran is actually capable of producing aircraft it? If Iran has a carrier, the Middle East situation. What’s it?

combat platform and combat system is essentially different from the carrier does not have isolated a number of actual combat capability. In this sense, Iran, even with the carrier, its symbolic significance is much greater than the actual meaning of

ship coal from the United States will be converted into the world’s first aircraft carrier, the naval ship to enter by carrier aircraft attack a new stage. If we take the aircraft carrier group as a complete combat system, then the individual aircraft carrier operations at sea is just a platform. Combat platform specific to various weapons systems, with the load carrying capabilities and serve as part of the system by relying on the carrier. The combat system refers to information as a link, according to the various operational elements of the organizational structure of certain link, and follow the appropriate mechanism of movement in the overall system.

aircraft carrier as a large integrated operations platform, in order to form a strategic deterrent capability or ability to, first of all need to be equipped weapons systems, carrier-based aircraft and communications equipment. However, Iran’s own production, “Jia Malan,” the destroyer of the situation, the simple negative destroyer weapons systems are obviously not the name. Although Iran already has a certain amount of commercial shipbuilding capacity, but the design process of the backward and poor management is still a bottleneck restricting the development of its military. Moreover, an aircraft carrier out to sea never alone, it is always in cooperation with the actions of other vessels, so-called aircraft carrier battle groups. These formations ships include cruisers, destroyers, frigates, submarines and supply ships, etc., which provide for the aircraft carriers of air, ship, and related to the protection of underwater protection.

present, the Iranian Navy about 2 million people, mainly warships including Russian “Kilo” class submarines, destroyers, frigates and corvettes, more than ten vessels. From a military point of view, with half the size of the entire composition of Navy aircraft carrier fleet, deployed in the narrow waters of the Persian Gulf, not only can not play to its strategic function, the lack of effective escort in case the opponent can only become live targets. Instead, it touches on a small lightweight and flexible small surface ships or submarines at sea to launch asymmetric attacks on maritime power like the United States to combat a potential threat. Seen in this light, even if the Iranian Navy has a claim to the ability to build aircraft carriers, but its symbolism is far greater than the actual meaning.

world has always been a critical situation in the Middle East, chaos in concentration. If Iran has a carrier, the most intense Israeli rather than American – even if Iran put relentless, to the United States to send warships offshore cruise

three continents Europe, Asia and the Middle East region is located in the connection Department, is the world’s oil center, a special geopolitical environment determines the Middle East is a strategic location, but also conflict-ridden land. In recent decades, several large-scale Middle East war broke out, and small-scale conflict is difficult to count. Currently, the Middle East conflict mainly three categories: First, among the major powers in the Middle East conflict; the second is the conflict between Iran and Israel; Third, the contradiction between the Arab world and Israel.

Iran is the Middle East also has the geographical importance and energy of both countries. With the changing international situation, especially with Iran for the interests of the United States and the dual nature of the threat, and its conversion under different conditions determined by the characteristics of the complexity of the relationship between the two countries. When the sound development of bilateral relations, the U.S. emphasis on the interests of Iran, seeking to prevent the threat; when bilateral relations deteriorate, the United States against the threat of Iran than to seek benefits. Expand and damage the interests of the threat led to deterioration of bilateral relations is the key.

Therefore, in this sense, whether it is Iran’s claim to build aircraft carriers or just close to the United States plans to send warships to the waters of the Atlantic worth mentioning, are not sufficient to bring the powerful U.S. naval forces any real threat. However, if it touches Iran’s hard to give the Israeli Navy to bring the same limited size of the slightest crisis. In February, the Egyptian regime change, Iranian Navy seize the favorable opportunity, before the Red Sea, Suez Canal break, cruise the Mediterranean for the first time to a direct rival to bring pressure on Israel.

the final analysis, Iran is to play a greater role in the Persian Gulf. If Iran has a carrier, whether deployed in the Red Sea or the Mediterranean perform what tasks, apparently will make Israel as a thorn in the back. Putting aside the specific mission, as the Middle East Sudi, the Iranian Navy will push to the front door of the opponent, the opponent at least a warning not to act rashly in this.

overview of Iran’s various gimmicks, are one of the means of its strategy of psychological warfare. Although able to win a moment’s attention, but the situation in the Middle East will not have a fundamental impact

a long time, the face of strong U.S. psychological offensive, Iran is not standing still, but full use of their existing resources, actively anti-psychological warfare operations. Whether it is to build offshore patrol aircraft or to the United States, apparently a kind of foreign military propaganda slogans. While these plans are unlikely to achieve in the short term, or simply no practical significance, but at least it reflects a military confrontation with Iran trying to outside pressure, determination and confidence. On the other hand, shouting slogans higher tone, may cause more fear of the opponent.

As the complexity of the struggle in the United States and Iran during the contest between the two sides in order to test each other’s strength, increasing its own chips, are using a variety of psychological warfare strategy and tactics, sometimes the brink of war does not rule out some degree of strategy. Iran’s current naval strength and defense industrial capacity, it is clear does not have to design, build its own aircraft carrier capability. In the Pahlavi period, Iran from the United States, Britain and other Western countries buy a lot of naval equipment, at the time of the Middle East, the strength is still relatively strong. However, with the odds with the United States, Iran sanctions and arms embargo that severely hampered the development of military power. Over the years, all the gimmicks thrown Iran, claiming that their strength by leaps and bounds, are part of its campaign.

From a practical point of view, Iran’s aircraft carrier program is not on the entire Middle East have a fundamental impact. As for how to build, how to design, what are the key technical problems to solve, what channels to resolve these at the operational level of the actual problem may be even Iran itself are not considered too much.

As one Western diplomat in Iran, the Iranian government in a series of comment statement said: “The face of U.S. pressure, Iran is clearly hoping to demonstrate its military power.” Regardless of Iranian government officials, or analysts, have publicly said they just want to remind the United States, if an attack on Iran will have to pay what price.

can be expected to play a greater role in the Persian Gulf, Iran’s future strategy or tactics will still falsehoods, still through the “strong fighting spirit” to increase as a regional power chips.

some time, the whole situation in the East and North Africa changed dramatically. Under such a mess in Iran trying to take advantage of this gap in the quest for self-rising, with the construction of aircraft carriers that want to show the message itself is “strong fighting spirit” to increase their bargaining chip, to create a regional power to do signs.

In fact, Iran’s always been falsehoods, when you think it does not have some kind of ability, it will often suddenly announced that they have met or exceeded a certain capacity. This is a tentative strategy, but also want to see the international community’s response in order to take the next step. In addition, we should also see, with the battlefield in Afghanistan, Iraq war and the end of major combat in Libya, the West who is the next target? Iran clearly do not want their own, so one hand it claims to be building aircraft carriers; the other hand, said we should deploy large surface ships to the U.S. West Coast, itself a strong oath of ingredients inside.

Iran is a regional power, but not strong enough to have an overwhelming advantage on the surrounding country level. Iran’s oil-rich, but not as rich Gulf countries, like Iraq, the same can not always eager to enhance its annexation of Kuwait’s oil reserves. When these factors are intertwined, when Iran will not be possible to have more short-term increase in the national “hard power” means.

can be expected to become the leading regional power in Iran is still a long way to go. Even the relationship with the United States eased, it will not substantially improve in Iran’s geopolitical situation and the right structure in the diplomatic position. Therefore, only in maintaining the “strong fighting spirit,” while active multilateral diplomacy, in order to continue to increase in power savings as a regional power chips.
