RE: Israel will take out the Mullahs' Nuclear bomb making center

Shalom Khan:
No doubt Israeli government lives in stone age. All they can think of is how to destory, rape and homelessness, make others suffer, and bring down humanity. Look around you from Palestine to other corners of the world, and see the evidence. My ant could do the same with American made weapons.

Israel will take out the Mullahs' Nuclear bomb making centers...

Israeli F16s are preparing for the attack.

God Bless Israel

Thank You Hoder (but beware of ....)

Hoder,
Thanks for your thoughtful article. But I am sure you are aware of Israelis pretending to be Iranians on this site and spewing garbage, as well as members of "$75M Club".

Regards,

A. D.

Thanks!

Thank you Hoder for your courage and expressing what you believe in, especially in a site like this which is the favorite of anti-Iranians. Please continue your fine work and don't get discouraged by the pests (pro-saltanat, pro-Israel, pro-MKO, pro-Neocons, ...) who infest this "anti-iranian.com" site.

Down with the Shahis, down with the MKO traitors, down with the Neocons, down with all enemies of Iran, down with commis, and down with all dictators including mullahs. Payandeh Iran.

American bombs are on their way too. It's imperative that America bombs the Islamic Republic.
Just wait ans see!

Rights of Iranian Nation comes first, not ...

Iranian nation's rights to whatever it wants to do comes first. Not the right of Israeli or American idiot agents posting on iranian.com.

RE: Hey: Hoder , ....

hey genius Anonymous^2, Iran is already enriching uranium, your equations are not applicable any more. Attach two long variables to your equations cascade them and gently estEmal the whole thing.

Hey: Hoder , Dooder, or whatevr you call yourself!?

All this crap you regurgitate is good for a bunch of akhoonds and bacheh akhoonds. Shirin Ebadi is a bacheh akhoond as well!

I am going to make it simple for you and your barking seal supporters of you to understand. Look at the conditions under which nuclear energy and Iran would make sense:

************************************************
a) Nuclear Energy + Iran + Mullah Regime = NO!

B) Nuclear Energy + Iran - Mullah Regime = YES!
************************************************

Now, do you understand the equations!?

By the way, Koon Topoli, I am still waiting for you to tell us how you make a living!? I hear due to the rise in the price of oil reaching a $100.00 a barrel, mullahs have increased your jeereh!?

what technology? This so

what technology? This so called nuclear technology is a 70-year old and obselete and outdated technology that noone uses anymore and even that was bought from Russia, India, and North Korea. The IRI's stooges are starting to believe their own propaganda. Any 2nd 2nd year nuclear physicist or engineer could design those outdated nuclear facilities. Iran keeps buying trash and outmoded technology from Russian and China and presents it as it's own to fool the sheeple on welfare (Basiji and hezbollahi). It would have been funny if this kind of bravado-deception did not have grave consequences for the future generation of Iranians but unfortunately it does.

Has the IRI ever been held

Has the IRI ever been held accountable for the incalculable damage they have wreaked upon both in terms of costs (including opportunity cost) and risks to Iranian nation's economic and strategic security and sovereignty? If you and I had managed a corporation , large or small and ran it to the ground like this, we would be fired and put in jail for being so corrupt or incompetent. These idiots are starving their own "cash cow" (oil revenues) by not re-investing or maintaining it. How masochistic can you get to do this to yourself? Are they that blind? They should all be impeached.

Those who rule the Islamic Republic are dysfunctional in practically every way imaginable. They have never been called to account for their irresponsibility and unwillingness to face the reality of their own making. The West,particularly the left, and the reformers have encouraged them, enabled them, and generally sheltered them from reality for their own short-sighted profiteering . What will they do when the cow stops producing milk and begins to die?

Iran should not acquire nuclear capability!

Iran should not have that capability,
* so that Iran can not possibly stop the old Bush-necon plans for the “new Middle East”
(see //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Ledeen)
*so that US can control not only the future energy needs of Iran but also future energy needs of, India, China ... (nuclear and oil),
*so that US, can control who supplies the arms to the region and when the wars are to be started to consume them (see //www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/07/28/saudi.ar...),
*so that Iran's ability in other areas (satellite technology, Oil processing equipment, etc. can also be taken away in time.

Stopping Iran's nuclear progress has much less to do with WMD threat,
As John Abizaid the retired US general said, even an Iran with the bomb is no threat ( see //www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/09/18/france....)

You are full of it!

Do you really believe the current regime is actually trying to use nuclear technology just for peaceful purposes? Then you must be an idiot.


You are accusing this regime of being the only country in the region to take decision based on national interests. Are you f#¤king retarded? This regime has never had Iran's interests at heart. This bunch has practically destroyed a nation economically, culturally and socially.


Where the hell do you live? Since when the Islamic Republic has been a role model for Muslims in the region? They certainly showed their support during the Iran-Iraq war by going to Iraq and helping the Iraqis against Iranian forces.


How can you be so sure that the US is not going to attack Iran? If needed they will destroy the country in a week by areal bombardment. You do not understand anything about superpower mentality. If the US feels real threat from Iran it won't hesitate to destroy it. Then none of your Hassan or Hossein missles are gonna help you.


Whether oil income dries out or not this regime should not be allowed to develop nuclear technology. Because that means they would be in power for at least another 50 years and that my so called compatriot is the worst thing that can happen to Iran.


It seems you are in desperate need of a visa to travel to Iran but I am sure there are more honourable ways of getting it than writing foolish articles like this.

sad......

انرژی اتمی نه تنها حق ایران است بلکه روز به روز بیشتر نیازی حیاتی تبدیل می‌شود

You confuse the regime's vital needs with Iran's needs.

If Iran had proper investment in its oil industry,only available from the west, then our oil revenues would not dwindle to nothing in 2015, and would carry on for another 88 years, at current production levels.

BAGHDAD, Nov. 21 -- More than 300,000 Shiite Muslims from southern Iraq have signed a petition condemning Iran for fomenting violence in Iraq, according to a group of sheiks leading the campaign.

"The Iranians, in fact, have taken over all of south Iraq," said a senior tribal leader from the south who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared for his life. "Their influence is everywhere

سرمایه داری

سرمایه داری لیبرالی ارائه نمیکنن بعد هی کون خرو وا میکنن میگن ما با امپریالیسم در جنگیم.

دوستان اینجا روی این حرف امام خمینی (نوهء فاطمه فک) فکر کنین که در کمال جهل و خریت در صدر انقلاب گفت : "اقتصاد مال خره"

شما چجوری با امپریالیسم در جنگی؟ با تسخیر سفارت آمریکا؟! پوپولیستهای کودن(!) وقتی امامتون میگه "اقتصاد مال خره" تعجبی نداره که لمپن های پیرو خط امام بدون مطلعه علمی و اقتصادی مبارزه با امپریالیسم مثل خر عرعر میکنن "مرگ بر آمریکا"

مبارزه شما با امپریالیسم چگونه بوده؟ با خرید نکردن از آمریکا؟ تحریم ایران از سوی آمریکا اتفاقاً ضربه ای بود که آمریکا به ایران وارد کرد نه ایران به آمریکا. این ایران است که در پی (و ناگزیر از) پیوستن به سازمان تجارت جهانی است و این آمریکا است که با اقتدار با پیوستن ایران به WTO مخالفت میکند.

مبارزه شما با استکبار جهانی حکایت کونده ای است که برای کون دادن (صنعتی شدن سریع با هزینهء کم سرمایه گذاری خارجی و پیوستن به WTO) به سیبیل کلفت محل (آمریکا و اتحادیه اروپا) قمبل کرده ولی سیبیل کلفت محل یه سیلی خوابونده زیر گوش کونیه.
حالا کونی لمپن و جاهل ما هی داد میزنه "کس ننش دیدی چجوری با گوشم دست سیبیل کلفته رو چلاق کردم!!!

حالا شما گیریم بازار ایران رو در این جهان بزرگ از آمریکا گرفتید. شما که همچنان محتاج انگلیس و فرانسه و آلمان و دیگر مصادیق استکبار جهانی هستید! آیا میتونید در این جهان با منزوی کردن ایران به رشد صنعتی دست پیدا کنید؟ میخوام بدونم کدوم کارخونه توی ایران توسط مغز ایرانی طراحی میشه و قطعاتش در داخل تولید میشن؟ به کدوم بازار جهانی تونستین تولیدات صنعتی صادر کنین؟ به عوض کردن اطاق پژو (که آنهم از صدقه سر معامله با فرانسه دارید) میگویید رشد صنعتی؟ شما عرضهء تولید قطعات آشغال چینی رو هم ندارید. واقعاً باید به کس امامتون خندید.

شعارهای ضد آمریکایی شما عوامفریبی برای خر کردن توده های لمپن بیش نیست.

بله حتماً با اتحاد با کوبا و ونزوئلا و باقی کشورهای عقب افتادهء جهان به امپریالیسم ضربه خواهید زد و به صنعتی شدن دست خواهید یافت

Re: Hoder get in shape...

... Labor camps are waiting for you... You and your likes took from Iran for 29 years... You will give it back by force...

That's a promise...

The islamic republic's

The islamic republic's cronies whose livelihood depends upon the spoils-trough that the iri provides for them define traitor as “anybody who does not agree with everything IRI says and does.”
However the truer definition of traitor or domestic enemies are “anybody who is actively helping in making worse and willfully disregarding the wellbeing of his country and the well-being of people of his country”. More than 40 percent of iranian live below poverty line while the iri spends billions on propagndists such as hoder et al abroad and buying mercenary soldiers in lebanoan and palestine.
Does the unthinking condemnation of any criticism of IRI government makes the life of Iranian people better or worse?
Worse, I think, so who really is the traitor?

First, if you are an IRI supporter, why do you need to be anonym789? You and your family is not in danger of IRI's brutality!

Second, we are 70 million nation people. MKO and RezaII are part of the fabric of out society. For how long, do you advocate killing oppositions?

To answer your question, the interest of our nation will be secured by Iranians who believe on a Secular Democratic Republic of Iran ( a power sharing machine).

You conveniently forgot to tell us about the achievements of mullahs with regard to "aazadie" in your analysis. Had it existed, not only it would have been more "romantic" for the Moslems in our neighborhood, but it would have also served as a protective shield against Iran's distractors

Hossein, if you take your head out of your ass you maybe you ...

Hey Hossein,
If you take your head out of your ass once in while, you can see the world better and just maybe you can write some senseible stuff too!!
I wish I had the time to go over your nonsense analysis point by point, however, when you say that "...Iran makes its decisions based on what is good for itself..", then that is the final straw and I have to say something.
You are so blind as not to be able to see that Iran does what is good for Mullahs and your relative hezbollahis. It does not do things to better the lot of Iran or the Iranians. The fact that the country has so many political prisoners and that it does not respect human rights should tell you that the decisions are made for the benefit of its rulers. But then again you probably know that as you know most of them personally.
I hope you will go bankrupt with your law suit as I hate to see Hezbollahi nonsense propagandists who think they know a lot and they don't know zero, write falsified and baseless articles.
After reading this crap, I may even contribute to Mehdi Khaladji's (whom I am no admirer of)legal costs so that he can afford a better legal team against you!!!
Just a final word.
I don't know if you are deliberately writing this stuff with an agenda or if you truely believe in your own propaganda. But if you do believe in it, remember that a lot of Iranians actually believe this stuff and your incorrect analysis. This effectively means you are helping their oppressors by not telling them the whole truth and openning their eyes.
The Americans may launch some sort of crazy attack on Iran and your writings can result in a lot of spilt Iranian blood.
Can you affrd to have this on your conscious???
So get real and even if you yourself are incapable of full and impartial political anlysis, then get some outside help.

Israelis are getting ready to live with a nuclear Iran

Even Israelis are getting ready to live with nuclear Iran. Only if our own Iranian "nationalists" do not capitulate or stop selling their country (like MKO Alireza Jafarzadeh).
See:
//www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic...

Efraim Halevy, the former head of the Israeli intelligence agency advocate coexistence with Iran.

Thank you for a very good analysis

Ms. Ebadi as a lawyer should have understood one thing; under the NPT Iran has full right to a peaceful nuclear program. If she is such a staunch supporter of human rights in Iran she should also defend the rights of the Iranian nation. This is not a time for Ms. Ebadi to win points for herself with the U.S. and her western audience.

As an Iranian patriot and legal expert, she should be damned upset that the west is once again doing to Iran what it did in 1953 to Dr. Mohammed Mossadeq in his fight for the nationalization of oil. If it was not for Dr. Mossadeq I wonder how many billions of dollars of Iran's oil revenues would still be dished out to the British and of course the U.S. What is she expecting that Iran simply succumb to the bullies because they say so? Then for God's sake what is she doing fighting for RIGHTS!!

If this is the case Iran should just bend and give in on all of its right and hold out its hand like the other client states of the U.S. to every demand that the U.S. makes of her.

As the author of this article states, the statements that the U.S. makes about Iran's nuclear program are only false pretexts. The U.S. fears have nothing to do with the nuclear issue; have nothing to do with "terrorism"; have nothing to do with human rights violation. It is simply because Iran dares to stand up to the U.S. and this is a BIG NO, NO!!

How dare a country like Iran not respect the master wannabe, the U.S.A.!! They were kicked out of Iran in 1979, and they should stay out.

Iran is not Saudi Arabia, Iran is not Kuwait, Iran is not Iraq, Iran is not Afghanistan, Iran does not belong to any country but belongs only to its people.

IRAN IS NEITHER UP FOR SALE OR EVENT UP FOR RENT!!

As for the rest of you who are continuously saber-ratelling the same false propaganda of the U.S. and the neocons like John Bolton regarding an Iranian nuclear weapons program, you may want to look at the statements of the experts, the IAEA. There is absolutely not one single evidence of nuclear enrichment toward a weaponization program. Even Colin Powell made a statement yesterday that Iran is
far from acquiring nuclear weapons, despite the U.S. fears. I guess Mr. Powell finally learned from his mistakes from the fiasco in Iraq when he lied to the world at the UN about false reports on WMDs in Iraq! Well at least one person in the Bush Admin. had some brains and even he resigned from the Bush Administration.

"Powell: Iran far from nuclear weapon By DIANA ELIAS, Associated Press Writer
Mon Nov 19, 1:56 AM ET

Iran is far from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and despite U.S. fears about its atomic intentions, an American military strike against the Islamic Republic is unlikely, former Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday.

Tehran rejects claims by the United States and some European Union countries that its nuclear program is aimed at secretly producing weapons, insisting it is for peaceful purposes only.

"I think Iran is a long way from having anything that could be anything like a nuclear weapon," said Powell, who was invited by the National Bank of Kuwait to speak on economic opportunity and crisis in the Middle East.

A recent report by the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog found Iran has been generally truthful in the information it has provided the agency about aspects of its past nuclear activities.

But the International Atomic Energy Agency said it could not rule out that Iran had a secret weapons program because of restrictions Tehran placed on its inspectors two years ago.

Asked if he sees a U.S. war on Iran coming, the retired U.S. general said although no American official will say the option was "off the table," he did not see prospects of a military conflict.

There is no base of support among Americans for such an action, Powell said, adding that the U.S. military already has enough on its hands in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Powell was the secretary of state under President Bush from 2001 to 2005. In September 2004, Powell said Iran's nuclear program was a growing threat and he called for international sanctions."

As for Ms. Ebadi, she would do better for Iran by not feeding the Bush Admin. and neocons with the ammunitions they want in order to get a foothold in Iran and bring back the Iranian Chalabis.

Thank you Hoder. You are a great intellect.

Keep up the nice writings. We enjoy them (However, don't expect the Israeli bunch -- who pretend to be Iranians -- or members of the US government's "$75M Club" to enjoy your writings thou).
