Just one day after the EU embargoed Iranian oil, Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps launched test missile drills on Monday that could travel as far as Israel, reported The Wall Street Journal:

• Iran routinely conducts military drills. The continuing crisis in Syria, Iran's closest ally in the Arab world, and the near-failed nuclear talks with the West could potentially make Iran vulnerable for a military attack.
• A new round of technical meetings is scheduled in Turkey this week between Iran and six counterparties who are aiming to curb what they say are Iranian steps toward building nuclear weapons. But there is little expectation of a breakthrough between Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany, or P5+1. During the last rounds of talks in Moscow in June, both sides acknowledged a large gap between their visions for a possible deal. Iran contends its nuclear program is for peaceful energy purposes.

President Obama has warned Iran in the past that an attack on Israel will lead to American military action.
"The United States will always have Israel's back," said President Obama to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a White House meeting in March.

Last month, there was also speculation that President Obama had ordered cyberattacks on Iranian computer systems that run Iran's main nuclear enrichment facilities. Obama denied the allegations.
