agree, but the entire world is an evil place, so sometimes you just have to pick the lesser of 2 evils and I am not referring to Israel, I am referring to the US

[mass243]

Yea, Iranians have done so much bad to us all... 

FFS, let the guys be as long as they stay within their borders and concentrate on their own country.
Not saying I would like them or what goes on in their country but heck, it's just that. Their country. What it has to do with you?

'Mossad behind blast that killed Iran missile chief'
By YAAKOV KATZ

Western intel official tells 'TIME' that Mossad was behind missile base blast; Khamenei appears at officer's funeral.

The Mossad was behind the explosion on Saturday that killed 17 members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, including Gen. Hassan Moghadam, the officer responsible for the development of some of Iran’s most advanced ballistic missiles, Time magazine reported Monday.

Israel has not issued an official comment on the incident except for Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who on Sunday said he would like to see more explosions in Iran. Government officials criticized Barak on Monday and said that like other cabinet ministers, he had been asked to tone down the chatter on Iran.

Last week, Barak also broke with government policy, and in an interview with Israel Radio spoke about the International Atomic Energy Agency report released on Tuesday and the fallout Israel would face if it attacked the Islamic Republic. Israeli government policy has been to stay quiet on the issue, to prevent the world from thinking the nuclear threat is just against Israel.

“We need to remain quiet,” one official said.

Time cited a Western intelligence source as saying the Mossad was behind the explosion at the Iranian base on Saturday.

“Don’t believe the Iranians that it was an accident,” the official said.

According to the magazine, the unnamed official also said additional acts of sabotage were in the works as part of an effort to stop the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.

“There are more bullets in the magazine,” the source was quoted as saying.

The cause of the explosion was unknown and Iran claimed it occurred when soldiers were moving explosives between bases. Barak, interviewed by Army Radio on Sunday, said he did not have details except that there had been an explosion. “May there be more like it,” he added.

Israeli involvement in such an operation would seem unlikely due to the difficulty it would encounter in infiltrating a military base like the one where the explosion took place, and which is believed to be home to Iran’s Shahab long-range ballistic missiles.

It is possible the Mossad, or another Western intelligence agency, used a proxy to carry out the attack. Israel and the US have been accused over the years of working together with various Iranian opposition groups such as the People’s Mujahidin Organization of Iran, otherwise known as MEK.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei attended the funerals of Moghadam and the 16 other Revolutionary Guards who died in Saturday’s explosion.

“Martyr Moghadam was the main architect of the Revolutionary Guards’ cannon and missile power and the founder of the deterrent power of our country,” Hossein Salami, the deputy head of the Guards, said in a eulogy at the funeral, state broadcaster IRIB reported.

A veteran of the 1980-88 Iran- Iraq War, Moghadam’s importance was underlined by the appearance of Khamenei at his funeral and a personal visit to his family by Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi to convey President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s condolences.

What a bunch of scare tactics and lies do you people believe?  Iran is a peaceful country if you compare them to the US.  Iran with nuclear weapons would keep that drawn on the map Israel in check from killing innocent Palestinian civilians.

Shut the fuck up.  It's  been proven time and time again that you're not qualified to post about any subject that doesn't involve semen.

Move to Iran and be open about your homosexuality for a few months.  Let us know how it works out for you.

Very well thank you.  Have a pleasant day.

When it's a well thought out post,nothing.

....he's just a troll looking for attention.

[Xerxes]

Do you guys ACTUALLY believe that if Iran gets a nuclear missile they will ACTUALLY bomb Israel, the holy land of muslims as well as the followers of judaism and christianity, just to be bombed with Israels 200 +  ILLEGAL nuclear missiles? (the number is unknown because they don't allow inspections at all!!)

[JBGRAY]

Israel's possession of nuclear weapons is NOT illegal............it is simply unspecified and undefined....they abide by a policy of nuclear ambiguity.

As for you people that criticize and demonize Israel's treatment of the Palestinians, consider this......the Palestinians have had numerous opportunities to emigrate to places such as Syria, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia where there is more than enough room for them as well as easy acclimation to that particular region's people and belief system..........except those countries refuse Palestinian immigrants.

Why?  Muslim-majority nations need the Palestinians to be used a political scapegoat to keep the pressure on Israel and force resolution after resolution within the UN to constantly portray Israel as the bad guy in this situation.  The Palestinians that are present in Arab countries, primarily the Gulf states, are treated as the lowest class of the entire citizenry and are looked down upon.  It would be akin to the US with Jim Crow laws on the books telling South Africa under an Apartheid regime that South Africa needs to bring about equal rights for its black population.

Israel giving up land for peace will not bring peace.  The dissolution of the nation of Israel will not bring peace.  Appeasement does not bring peace.  The existence of Muslim-dominated societies do not bring peace.

[OTHstrong]

The body count is not even comparable.

What? yes it is... they been fighting for over 3000 years, Palestine has had it's fair share of winnings

You can understand why though ? There country has been over run with theiving vermin - little by little they lose more and more. 

Well, Israel owned this territory between 1000- 550bc, then the Babylonians, then the Persians, then the Greeks, then the Romans, then the Barbarian and Heathens( Germanic tribes), then the Arabs, the french and the BRits, then the Ottomen Empire (turks), and many more, so point being it's the most conquered land on the Planet, anyone can claim it and believe it's there land.

[Coach is Back!]

Israel is the only civilized country in that sand box you call the middle east.

I wouldn't mind if Israel controlled that entire region.

And as it's been previously stated, you cannot trust muslims with a stick of dynamite let alone a nuclear weapon.

This ^^^

[#1 Klaus fan]

This is the smartest person in United States.  

Correction: He's British. But he speaks English and cares about American affairs so I'm sure Americans are willing to take him as their own. 

[mass243]

Well... so far (surprise, surprise) USA has been the only one to use nukes against civilians causing tremendous suffer for countless people of the area.

Nukes should not spread. Only few major players should possess them to prevent major conflicts between big players - and that has worked, so IMO it's justified. And spreading of nuclear weapons is strictly prohibited by international agreements.
But to categorically say, one country would use nukes against some other country as soon as possible, is ridiculous... especially if American says that as they are the only ones using weapons of mass destruction against someone.  


Another point:
Anyone realize how much knowledge and know-how is required to build a capable nuke?
I doubt if even Chinese nukes would fly to their destination if shit hit the fan... I mean how would they guide them? With smoke signals? AHHAHAHAHA
Yet alone Iranians LOL.
If they managed to put together sum' retarded dirty bomb, it would most probably just blow up in their own hands.

you are fucking moron but you are right that there is always some kind of scare tactics going on in the us...and the regular american always pay the price. sad thing is that many don't realize it and always get duped by filthy politicians and corporate interests.

Iran is fucking shit country. It's the young iranians who need to change things. but even if they get nuclear weapons it would be suicide for them to use it.

good post except for the last part. That was a bullshit move on the US part to bomb Horishima and Nagasaki, very stupid and demonic. They were monsters back then but the US is entirely different now then they were back then,

[tommywishbone]

Yes, I'm very scared of Iran. They might use harsh language or even have a rally.

Oh by the way- they fought a war with Iraq that lasted 10 years and ended in a draw. We invaded Iraq and took over the entire country in two weeks.
