Armada of US/GBR naval power massing in the Gulf as Israel prepares an Iran strike

[PapaG]

Israel is pissed that the YouTube video hasn't been received well in Iran. Did Obama actually ask Congress for authorization on strikes in Iran?

An armada of US and British naval power is massing in the Persian Gulf in the belief that Israel is considering a pre-emptive strike against Iran’s covert nuclear weapons programme.

I think AQ thinks that the quisling Obama is going to lose, and that their chance to control the Middle East is right now, with a President who won't fight back so as to not piss off his base.

Then let Israel do it.

I think we've been applying pressure against them so they won't.

But I agree, let them do it.

If Israel attacks Iran I'd like us to sit back and watch Iran toast them. I'm sick and tired of watching Americans suffer without basic life necessities simply because we keep spending billions upon billions of dollars in tax money to back up the loudmouth bully that is Israel.

Netanyahu reminds me of a smartass 3rd grade pipsqueak who starts fights on the playground only because he knows his 5th grade big brother will save his ass.

Israel got $3.2 billion from the US last year. Egypt got $1.5 billion from the US last year/

Billions and billions are lost everywhere, "realtor". Obumbles has actually increased aid to Israel by $500m last year since when he took office.

Probably blame it on an anti-Jewish movie.

It won't just be Iran, it will the entire middle east.

Netanyahu is trying to start WWlll and he's banking on us to fight it for him, the little chickenshit.

You're a comedic genius. You know that, right?

just let them all fight it out, pull back all support from any of them, and fuck them all.

I love technology. The thread mentions Iran, and there's an advert for meeting Persian women on the top of the page. Although I think Iraq was Persia, but still, I'm fascinated by the fact that papag's obsession with grasping at straws could potentially lead someone here to a love connection!

Maybe we should start calling papag chuck woolery.

No need to wonder:

"Our response to Israel is clear: I think nothing will remain of Israel (should it attack Iran). Given Israel's small land area and its vulnerability to a massive volume of Iran's missiles, I don't think any spot in Israel will remain safe," he said.

He said Iran's response to any attack will begin near the Israeli border. The Islamic Republic has close ties with militants in Gaza and Lebanon, both of whom have rocket arsenals that could be used for cross-border strikes.

He said he did not believe however that Israel would attack on its own. Should the U.S. launch a strike, Jafari suggested that Iran could respond with missile salvos at U.S. bases in the Gulf.

"The US military bases sprawled around Iran are considered a big vulnerability. Even the missile shields that they have set up, based on information we have, could only work for a few missiles but when exposed to a massive volume of missiles, the shields will lose their efficiency and will not work," he said.

He also said that Iran warned that oil shipments through the strategic Strait of Hormuz will be in jeopardy if a war breaks out between Iran and the United States. Iranian officials have previously threatened to close the waterway, the route for a fifth of the world's oil, but less frequently in recent months.

"If a war breaks out where one side is Iran and the other side is the West and U.S., it's natural that a problem should occur in the Strait of Hormuz. Export of energy will be harmed. It's natural that this will happen," he said.

Gen. Jafari said that, if attacked, Iran will no longer be committed to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, under whose terms U.N. inspectors visit Iranian nuclear sites. He said however that this does not mean that Iran would build a nuclear weapon.

"If the world and international organizations fail to prevent such an attack, it's natural that Iran's commitments (to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty) would naturally change and the situation would be different from the past. These are the risks and consequences that such an attack will bring about, and these matters would be a deterrent."

Netanyahu was on Candy Crowley's show today. Ms. Crowley played Devil's advocate about how we knew Iran was developing nuclear technology for weapons purposes and Bibi had an hilarious response about Tim McVeigh doing gardening by picking up 20,000 lbs. of fertilizer in OKC.

Um, we can neither confirm nor deny that Israel has operational tactical nukes and a first-world air force. We can confirm Iran doesn't. I don't think your playground analogy fits. And as a personal opinion, Israel won't play as nicely as we do.

 

[maxiep]

Re: Armada of US/GBR naval power massing in the Gulf as Israel prepares an Iran strik

My guess is that these manuevers are simply putting assets in place in case Iran tries to close the Strait of Hormuz and not to support any attack that may or may not be coming.

Why aren't we threatening Israel, cutting off their foreign aid, and amassing a circle of force around their country? Seems the analogy fits even better in your view.

Friend?

You and I obviously define the word differently. My friends have no desire to wipe out entire countries.

I have no friends in the middle east. I've never even met anyone in the middle east.
