Iran 01 (Jul 08 - Apr 18)

[kennynah]

one theory on why usa wants to attack iran is that iran has recently courted and signed an agreement with pakistan and india to supply gas.

haliburton and the usa also had plans to supply gas to india and pakistan. gas they stole from iraq after invading them.

iran apparently is the preventing d**k cheney from making billions..

Hmmm.... but d**k Chenney is Republican and the White House is controlled by the Democrats or maybe it's not

Iran says one of its nuclear scientists was killed yesterday by a magnet bomb fixed to his car by a motorcyclist and blamed Israel for the attack, intensifying diplomatic tensions with the West over Teheran's nuclear program.

Iran: Oh, No; Not Again by cmartenson

In each of the years 2008, 2009, and 2010, significant worries emerged that Western nations might attack Iran. Here again in 2012, similar concerns are once again at the surface.

Why revisit this topic again? Simply because if actions against Iran trigger a shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 40% of the world's daily sea-borne oil passes, oil prices will spike, the world's teetering economy will slump, and the arrival of the next financial emergency will be hastened.

Even if the strait remains open but Iran is blocked from being an oil exporter for a period of time, it bears mentioning that Iran is the third largest exporter of oil in the world after Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Once again, I am deeply confused as to the timing of the perception of an Iranian threat, right now at this critical moment of economic weakness.

The very last thing the world economies need is a vastly increased price for oil, which is precisely what a war with Iran will deliver.

Who's killing Iranian nuclear scientists?By Josh Levs, CNN

Nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan was killed by a blast in Tehran on Wednesday, the state-run IRNA news agency

U.S. Secretary of State Clinton categorically denies any involvement in Iran

An Israeli military spokesman says he doesn't "shed a tear" over the reported death

Analyst: Israeli involvement with support from some in Iran, is the most likely scenario

Other possibilities: Iranian opposition, or involvement of Arab intelligence, analysts say


(CNN) -- It's a question many people inside Iran -- and those who watch the country closely around the world -- were asking Wednesday: Who is killing nuclear scientists in Iran?

An explosion on Wednesday killed Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a top official at the Natanz uranium enrichment plant, Iranian officials said.

He is the third man identified as a nuclear scientist to be killed in Iran in a mysterious explosion in the past two years. A fourth survived an assassination attempt.

In each case, someone placed a bomb under the scientist's car.

Iranian officials, on state-run media, blame Israel and the United States.

Massive U.S. Military Buildup Reported Around Iran; Up to 100,000 Troops Ready By March
by Mac Slavo, SHTFplan.com

While President Obama’s supporters hailed his withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq as the end of the war in the middle east, behind the scenes the Pentagon has been quietly massing troops and armaments on two islands located just south of the Strait of Hormuz, and within easy striking distance of Iran.

In addition to some 50,000 U.S. troops currently in the region waiting for orders (apparently they won’t be home by this past Christmas as was originally promised), Nobel Peace Prize winner President Barack Obama is deploying an additional 50,000 soldiers to be ready for ‘any contingency’ by March:
