RussiaToday: Reports are circulating that the U.S is amassing a greater military presence in the Middle East. The alleged build up is also rumoured to involve the Israeli use of Saudi Arabian air space. It's thought by some to be in preparation for an attack on Iran. Meanwhile the BBC reports that Turkey has barred an Israeli military flight from Turkish airspace, in apparent retaliation for Israel's raid on an aid convoy bound for Gaza. Turkey's prime minister confirmed that a "ban" had been implemented following the 31 May raid, in which nine Turkish citizens on the flotilla were killed. Military flight bans are now being considered on a case-by-case basis, Turkish officials said.

@Afshin Are you simply expressing your personal opinion when

no attack, but
by humanbeing on Tue Jun 29, 2010 04:59 AM PDTas i commented on two other blogs at least, i believe it is a bluff and there will be no attack.
what worries me (beside the middle-management messianic psychopaths i mentioned on the other thread) is the timing: according to my calculation, the mondial will be over just about when the warships should be close to persian gulf, if they go there. (lebanon war was also right after football season).
ps cute clip dk. (too bad about ghadhdhafi though).

Isn't it nice!
by ghalam-doon on Tue Jun 29, 2010 06:22 AM PDTSome of us are sitting in the West doing our cushy jobs and then we say let there be an attack! Let there be hundreds of thousands of deaths! Let there be an end to this regime so we can go back and perhaps do some cushy jobs for Haliburton or Black Water or some other contracting companies. Hey, we learned (sort of) the language of what used to be called imperialism, but now it's been repackaged as the forces of freedom and democracy. So we deserve it.
Our future will be bright so to hell with all those little people who will die in the process.

The regime change that is
by Bavafa on Mon Jun 28, 2010 11:00 PM PDTThe regime change that is engineered by US will never be good for Iran and Iranians, the engineer will make sure of that.
Iran surely need a regime change but only Iranians can and should engineer that. It may take much longer to achieve that, but it will last and will be on a good foundation.

Russia Loves This
by HHH on Mon Jun 28, 2010 10:22 PM PDTRussia loves to see Iran, US and Israel jump at eachother and start a war. What better way to sit and watch the walls blocking Russia from becoming the world's only superpower & own half of world's oil break eachother and weaken one another?
No, Saudi Arabia won't let Israel use it's airspace because IRI has clearly promised to send a rainfall of missiles over that country if they do so. Plus all Muslims will hate Saudi king for taking side with Israelis & they'll be assasinated by locals. So this is nothing but worthless propaganda.
Someone should tell them US navy ships in Suez canal are not as important as navy ships parked by Iran's coastline in Persian Gulf for years.
Traitors
by afshin on Mon Jun 28, 2010 09:18 PM PDTTraitors are those whom with their silence give tacit approval to acts committed by murdering thugs. Traitors are those who side with true enemy of Iran, which is its illegitimate government.
America's Intention
by afshin on Mon Jun 28, 2010 09:14 PM PDTI would say America's intentions are to further its own short and long term interests. The Iranian government has been a belligerent thorn in the side of America for three decades. All the while undermining Iran's own short and long term interests. I'm not advocating an American attack on Iran just for the sake of attacking Iran. Regime change in Iran will benefit all parties including America and Iran. Thirty years of na sharghi na gharbi has bought Iran nothing but disgrace and poverty, through the myopic lens of self deprecating intransigence. It's time for this regime to go, one way or the other!
Just knowing that there
by Bavafa on Mon Jun 28, 2010 09:11 PM PDTJust knowing that there are some who will embrace an attack which undoubtly will bring lots of death and destructions on their home land regardless of how cynical the IRI regime is, disgust me.
There are many negative attributes (doozed, jendeh, akhoon, etc) to a person, but nothing is lower then a traitor.

@ it wont happen
by afshin on Mon Jun 28, 2010 09:06 PM PDTIt will take sustained bombing runs at infrastructure and lobbing a few hundred Tomahawk cruise missiles to soften things up. Iranian's economy in in shambles. It won't take much to tip it over. The foreign accounts of all the akhunds and aghazadeh's need to be seized now before hand. They will have no quarter, and no friends. They are finished and they know it. They have delegitimized themselves. It's not a matter of if, but when and how.

by benross on Mon Jun 28, 2010 07:33 PM PDTFor 'n'iem time.
Saudi's denied the rumor. Besides, suppose tonight you go to bed tonight and tomorrow you hear some targets in Iran were bombed. Then what?!
A sustainable military attack means at least 200,000 soldiers on the ground. Which reminds me the first Persian gulf war. Americans were furious when they heard that while American soldiers were there to liberate Kuwait (at least that's what American people were told) the Kuwaiti youth were partying in fashionable discotheques in Cairo.
Target the 1st and the last Islamic Republic!
by pastor bill rennick on Mon Jun 28, 2010 07:27 PM PDTNot only they won't object but also Iranians will embrace any invasion of their country that has already been invaded by a bunch of A-rab barbarians for the past 1400 years ... It's very simple, all America has to do is to bomb anything wearing black tents and/or turban! No need to kill innocent people!
say yes to peace
by maziar 58 on Mon Jun 28, 2010 07:26 PM PDTCan we settle for a peacefull quite surrender without an out side military intervention ?
I think Iranians deserve PEACE.

The end of the Islamic Rapist Republic is near
by mahmoudg on Mon Jun 28, 2010 07:08 PM PDTand with it, will be gone all those thugs we call Basij and pasdars. What the people in Iran can do, is closely identify these people, so that when the strikes come they could be identified and upon this regime's fall, could report them and their activities to the coalition forces so they could be rounded up and delivered to the UN forces for their trials. They will be put up for crimes against humanity.
The end is near...
by afshin on Mon Jun 28, 2010 07:00 PM PDTAs the leading anti-war candidate, Barack Obama was the best choice for president as it would be only he who could package it best for the American public and the international community. War is coming. The nuclear issue, is just a means to an end. Everybody knows that no matter who's in power in Iran, nuclear technology will be pursued. By overthrowing the Iranian government, they will at least make sure that technology will not be directed to sinister intentions. Yes people will die. A million died on the Iranian side during the Iran-Iraq war. Imagine if there was a coup in the beginning of the revolution that would have at most 10,000 casualties. Would it not have been worth it? Yes democracy needs to be homegrown. But we have shown that we are not capable of doing it. And don't think for a second this regurgitated garbage the leaders of the so called "Green Movement" are feeding you. They are the same. Velayat-e faghih has to go. There is no room for a god king anymore. We need a secular form of government. Whether a constitutional monarchy or republic is irrelevant. We need to completely separate the affairs of church and state. Because they will destroy each other and the country with it, if they continue on this course.
To those that say it would be impossible to bring down the government with an invasion I say this: Remember Saddam Hussein? Remember Basra? Remember the Fao Peninsula? Iran lost 50,000 people taking back Khorramshahr. The United States reached all the way to Baghdad practically unopposed. The Iranian people would be all too eager for an invasion. Once the dust of disbelief settles, they will rejoice. And those thugs riding on motor cycles with batons, they will be the first to cry like bitches when it's over. It's the nature of a bully. Go to the biggest one, and slap him across the face as hard as you can, and he will be a bully no more.

WHat Happened to HUMAN RIGHTS
by AlexInFlorida on Mon Jun 28, 2010 12:26 PM PDTStrange How The USA under Carter was Happy To Pay Khomeini's Organization $150 Millon Dollars at a time to Train Mercenaries and Win The Iranian Revolution. (In The Name of Human Rights).
Strange How they miseducated a nation and the people swallowed it to this day entirely that Monarchy is Dictatorship and not Freedom, Justice or Human Rights (solely because it is democratically limited).
And Today the USA Openly Supports the Green Movement lead by Mousavi and Rafsanjani who as Prime Minister and President of Iran executed more than 10,000 prisoners who had completed their jail sentences.
I wonder what the US motivation is in IRAN?
FREEDOM?
JUSTICE?
HUMAN RIGHTS?
I wonder why the USA doesn't just say openly it wants to impose democracy on Iran. By Force If Necessary. In order to have undesputed controll over Iran like it does over the United Nations and so many other countries.
