Iranian Navy says what I've been worried about. If we strike Israel will be the main loser.

The Iranian Navy unveiled on Tuesday a new warship equipped with “advanced weapons and radar systems” and warned that Israel would be the “main loser” if America decides to launch a military strike in Syria, according to regional media reports.
Iranian Navy commander Habibollah Sayyari announced that Iran had overhauled a warship, installing new radar and weapons systems that would “improve its performance and fire power,”according to Iran’s state run Fars News Agency.
“The warship needed an overhaul and equipment with the state of the art and novel technologies and therefore the warship’s weapons have been modernized,” Sayyari was quoted as saying by Fars.
“Sonar and radar systems, weapons and information-gathering sensors of the warship” have been significantly upgraded, according to Sayyari.
Iranian military leaders also announced on Tuesday that the military had enhanced its “electronic warfare” capabilities by testing a domestically made radar system that can reportedly detect “stealth targets and cruise missiles,” according to Fars.
The military announcements come as the Obama administration attempts to convince Congress of the need for a targeted U.S. strike in Syria, where President Bashar al Assad stands accused of using chemical weapons on opposition fighters and civilians.
Iran has served as the Assad regime’s top regional defender, providing diplomatic and military cover for the embattled leader.
When President Barack Obama first hinted at a possible strike on Syria, Iranian leaders quickly promised to support retaliatory strikes on Israel, which it claimed would be the “first victim” of any U.S. strike against Assad.

Yeah.

You still think that test of the ABM system today was regularly scheduled as the Pentagon says or an unscheduled test of systems in case this thing goes sideways?

People are saying this will lead to WW3.  I don't think so.  A major regional war?  Yeah.  I can see that.  Why else would Obama seek Congressional approval unless that was one of the scenarios laid at his feet by the Chairman of the JCS?
