And the reason no one is saying anything against Russia is not because they're doing what's expected.  It's that the US is doing what's in its interest.  First, keeping quiet will assure Russia's cooperation on issues more pressing to the United States in the future, and secondly, Georgia is not worth getting in to world war 3 over.

no my friend, i'm counting on the us to do what's in its interest. 

It is in America's interests to destroy an avowed enemy. Is that what you expect the US to do? No. It isn't. So why can't you even be honest about that? You expect the US to be more humane and more civilized than other countries are, even while you make the most atrocious possible criticisms of the US. 

Are you watching events in Georgia? And nobody says a thing. Because the aggressor is Russia, and noboyd expects better of the Russians. They do expect better behavior from the US. You do, yourself... in fact, you are relying on it. You base your entire case that the US will not attack the IRI on your expectation that the US will be "nicer" than other countries are. Including Iran.

programmer craig

no, not really. the us has shown its civility in the last 5 years with their use of depleted uranium.  did you even read what i wrote?  apparently not. no my friend, i'm counting on the us to do what's in its interest.

So, bottom line, you are relying on teh US to behave in a more civilzed and responsible manner than the IRI does. Right? lol.

If this were true

August 18th 2018

Today the world was shocked as nuclear devices exploded in
the cities of New York, Washington DC and Dallas.

It is thought early estimates of casualties are in the region of 7.5 million people.

An Iraq based political cult that the US formerly backed called the mujahideen e khalq claims responsibility.

Yea! Yea! Yea!

Only pittiful tehranjelesi's are beating on the drum of war plus some tofalehaye dighe mesle mojahedokomonists!!!!

I never claimed that Iran

I never claimed that Iran is invincible.  But it seems you've been out of Iran for too long and have sat in front of news outlets such as Foxnews for even longer.  What I said was that the west is unable or otherwise unwilling to pay the price and do what it takes to change the iranian regime.  With modern weaponry you can blow anyone to oblivion.  But are you willing to lose a couple of air craft carriers, most of your regional allies, and spend the money needed to make it happen?  i think not.  if it was possible it would have been done by now.  As far as a blockade is concerned, it will never happen either.  In fact all sponsors of the newly presented resolution implying such an action essentially withdrew their support.  They realized that such an action could not be sustained, and is a conflict of powers, as only the President of the United States can direct foreign policy in this country.  And last I checked the US sent a deputy secretary of State to meetings with Iran.  And where do you get this information about hundreds and thousands of anti-regime agents are already in iran to sabotage the installations?  To that I only have one thing to say:  stop watching 007 movies!  Or let me guess, Cheney told you himself what the plan is?  Come back to earth dude.  To warmongers such as you and Bill O'Reilly that would so readily sacrifice other people's children to fight some idiotic war to protect the so called homeland and our freedom i say this:  ENLIST!  Join your favorite branch of the military.  After a 12 month tour in Ramadi or Kandahar, we'll see how much of an appetite for war is left in you.

AFSHIN you do need a break

For some reason you seem to make IRG far more invincible then what they really are.

Except direct oppression of the Iranian students, this military force does not seem to show anything of military value or accomplishment. Oh yeah I forgot, they hide behind the Hizbollah in Lebanon, and shi'ite in Iraq, and let others do the fighting.

The reality is, with the 3rd rate military technology at their possession, they don't seem to have much chance to counter the western military forces. Also, who said there will be an outright invasion of Iran alas Iraq?. What most likely scenario will be.

1. Massive blockade of Iranian ports by Western Navies and air forces. That will worsen the gasoline rationing already imposed on oil-rich Iran. (Guess what people will do to more rationing - spell the word "student riots". )

2. 900 - 1000 military planes including the B-2, B52, and the like, will take out all the bases of the IRG.

3. Hundreds or maybe thousands of anti-regime agents are already in place in Iran to sabotage major Iranian installations.

4. People in the fringe provinces will raise up, demanding independence from the Farsi led government, and down with Akhoonda.

5. there are no less then 30 to 40 Iranian groups in exile working with US and other Western countries to step in and take power in Iran. They will help to nudge the Akhooda out of the country.

These Mullahs will be wise to read the writing on the wall, and leave the counry, or face the same fate as saddam.

The west has far bigger problems than Iran. 

I disagree. I think most Americans do.

Under the Mullah regime, the

Under the Mullah regime, the Iranian people have and will be experiencing war, isolation, devastation, and terror.

GIMME A BREAK!

Well hold the press!  His highness Lord Stirling has made a declaration.  Gimme a break!  This attack on Iran, has been coming for the last 30 years.  You conspiracy theorists clearly have entirely too much time on your hands.  The Iranian government has outwitted every administration since coming to power.  They are not going anywhere.  The reason is very simple.  No one has the ability to do what it takes to make it happen.  And the costs far outweigh any tangible benefits.  A conflict with Iran would mean killing millions and spending trillions.  They've killed well over a million in Iraq and are spending about 15 billion a month, and they still don't have Iraq under control.  Iran is twice the size, most of the population is insulated my mountainous areas, and has three times the population.  And unlike Iraq has been able to procure any missle system money could buy over the past 20 years since the end of the Iran-Iraq war.  This is all sabre rattling.  The west has far bigger problems than Iran.  They have a nuclear armed country whose population is the most anti-American in the region and has been a bastion and sanctuary for the Taliban and Al-Qaeda more than any other country in the world.  Pakistan is also a sworn enemy of Israel, and contributes more resources to that end than Iran does.  Saudi Arabia is another country whose population is possibly more anti-American than Pakistan.  Let's not forget 15 of the 9/11 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia.  The Wahabis make Rafsanjani and Khamenei look like the Abraham Lincoln.  So get an ounce of perspective.

All US wants from Iran is to not sell everything to China and Russia.

I think teh US woudl be 100% fine with Iran selling ALL of its oil to China. Somebody has to, and it may as well be Iran, right?

Kambis Mehran

Well, first of all.... calm down! Ask Mehdi-Palang (he's right here!) and he'll explain to you how the IRI can blow all that junk out of the water in 2 minutes flat.

There is a great fear that Russia and China may oppose the naval and
air/land blockade of Iran.

The Russians are kinda busy starting some crap in Georgia. As for China... you really think there's much chance that China will openly side with iran, against the whole western world? Why would they? Because Iran is morally right? That's untrue, but even if it was... since when has China decided its foreign policy based on moral concerns?

If Russian and perhaps Chinese naval
warships escort commercial tankers to Iran in violation of the blockade
it could be the most dangerous at-sea confrontation since the Cuban
Missile Crisis.

Again... why would they? Why would either of thsoe two countries take such a very large risk, to make sure Iran is able to import gasoline? Makes no sense.

Kamiz you made Mazloom very happy!

The news that you just gave us where is coming from?How come it does not appear anywhere else unless those forces are invisible to human eyes.Anyways you made Mazloom very happy with the news they you just published.He likes to see all the enemies of Israel destroyed no matter the human costs.

Does not seem likely

A lot of blog's cut and pastes that you see are generally for those who were long in oil stocks at the wrong time. With the latest Iran missile show, many went back and jumped into oil market as the late comers.

Now that oil and commodities are being close to a crash state, at worst, or reasonably at the bear market, the "longs" are appearing doomed or nervous. They are afraid to go "short" and too much loss if they just exit. So, a little hype can extend a chance of rally in oil stocks where they can sell into it, and that is of course what Iran and other oil producing countries would want to as well.

War for what? Eventually Georgia will sign an attractive oil concession with Russia too since now it's wholly owned by the US interest. Then again there is Turkmenistan that eventually has to give some concessions to the Americans and the bend the gas pipelines a little bit so they all won't go through Russia.

Iran in fact is sitting pretty and the last country that would want to attack Iran is indeed the US of A, why? Well because there is a huge chance Iran will give a lot of concessions to the Americans for the Caspian Sea oil and gas with pipelines through Iran or otherwise through Turkey to the Black Sea. All US wants from Iran is to not sell everything to China and Russia. Will the British agree to that? We need to find out what the agreements are between the British and the Russians and that usually takes about 60 years to find out. We shall see.

We shall always remember, for as long as we have an Islamic Republic, we are not endangering the world, we are just isolating ourselves. We will start becoming dangerous when we become and independent nation of free wills, a nation that is allowed to create and build, that is when we become a threat. Now we are a simple slogan blip!

don't worry, be happy!

moment of truth

It extremely unfortunate for the Iranian people whom are forced to endure this hardship due to the misguided policies of their despotic regime. A group of fundamentalists with mind set of 7th century, living in their delusional mantra that some how they will bring the world powers to its knees.

Are these idiots in Tehran realizing what they are up against?. When those rationals in Iran will raise up and voice their discontent against the Mullahs.? Do the Mullahs realize that, once the conflict had started, it will not end until THEY are out, replaced by secular level headed and democratic government, which. will comply with the demand of the international community to stop the enrichment and world with the rest of the work toward peace in the region. 

Lets hope that all  those godd and peace loving Iranians in Iran will manage to throw these akhoonda out of power and replace them with rational leaders.

what are your sources?

Kambis Jan, where are you getting all of this information from?  Especially the biowar stuff at the end?  Please share
