The new administration in the White House might be planning to re-orient the “New World Order” and could be talking of “Nuclear-free” world, but the joint effort of U.S and Israel, the greatest ever talks of different intentions the world over. Israel and the United States started on Wednesday their largest-ever air defense drill simulating missile attack on the Jewish state.

The programme is of two weeks. It is aimed at for the preparation of any future confrontation with arch-foe Iran, which Israel accuses of trying to procure nuclear weapons to counter balance the whole situation in the entire Middle East. Approximately, 1,000 troops from the US European Command and an equal number of Israeli soldiers are taking part in the Juniper Cobra exercise running through 5th November, the Israeli army said in a statement.

In the longest ever exercise, the test will be conducted the Arrow-Hetz system. The THHAD( Terminal High Altitude Area Defense), the ship-based Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system, as well as Patriot and Hawk anti-aircraft systems, media quoted.

The entire process will take in a very unusual way and will simulate the firing of long-range missile from Israel’s fores Iran, Syria and Lebanon, and toward the end it will include a “live” missile interception, media persons said.

From the army statement, it was said, “the exercise is not in response to any world events” and that planning for the fifth Juniper Cobra drill “started over a year and a half ago.”

Finally, it is really interesting, the geo-strategic analysts will make an endeavor as to what exactly this exercise tries to convey to the world at a time when the American administration shows it is serious about peace and tranquility in the contemporary global discourse.
