Iran raises middle finger at the USA............
2. Won't be long now ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.24.10)
... until the Islamic Republic of Iran bites the dust. I wonder what sort of spin Mahmood and Persian kitty kat will put on these new developments.
3. The world must awake to the threat Iran poses to all of us.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (06.25.10)
Iran should not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. This is an issue that should unite all peace loving countries : Americans, Europeans and the others. Iran has many vulnerabilities, including a regime weakened by sanctions and a population eager to embrace opportunities with the West. If increasing economic pressure will not change Iran’s behavior, Ahmedinejad, Ahmedinejad alone, will be responsible for the results of a military strike. In order to understand the hate of Ahmedinejad to the USA and its danger: http://xrl.us/orwin

you are so wrong my friend. you are so far from truth with your statement. iran just cancelled the iranian flotila of ships going to israel. hizbullah and lebanon just cancelled theirs. does this mean anything to you? iran is scared!!!! their bark is bigger than their bite. the new sanctions the un slapped on my people and this murderous government in iran, my country, together with european unilateral sanctions and russia and china aboard will devastate my country's economy for sure. yes, we iranians will suffer but we are suffering already from this mullah regime. we can\t wait to the mullas to go down and they will. iran economy is in shambles, it is detiriorating faster than a spinning wheel. people are unrested. they desire change and trhey will make it come by throwing out the mullas. you will see. we want to be advanced, modern, free and civilized like the west, not like arabs. we have potential that the mullas do not allow us to use. no one can rule with fear, degradation of people, cutting heads, hangings, evin prison torture, disappearances, police state, beating for people. no one can survive this and neither will the regime. the regime has no money left, not for atomic bomb, not for people and not for sure for refining oil which they depend on to sell to world. if trhey cannot refine, they cannot use their oil. so, they need to import billions of dollars of refined oil from other countries. most companies already are starting to finish contracts with iran. european companies, today uae companies and usa companies, etc... who is left. while iran ewanted to isolate israel, it isolated itself completely. israel economy is booming. exports grew almost 20% just in the last two years. brain power and high tech is leading in the world from israel. israel now does billion of dollars business with china, russia and india. it is looking to not only the usa, but to the east as well and opening other doors. turkey and russia are begging israel for its drones and military high tech equipment and needs the israelis to train their troops. look at all the turks officers going to israel for training now on israeli drones!!!! israel juts signed billions of dollars deal on aviation with india and russia. how do you like that??? all the bds movement had zero effect on israel. it is only in the minds of haters like yourself that israel is about to lie down and die. it could not be further from the truth, my friend. israel economy is the most successful in the world now compared to usa and european countries whose wconomies are dying. israel, a technological, medical. research, innovation and high tech superpower. you do not like it? go and cry. the iranians are crying now. hameed aboughaze, iranian
5. The Republican Senator from Arizona will soon get...
Persian CAT   (06.25.10)
his answer to this question, "Do you want to do business with Iran, or do you want to do business with the United States?" The companies that have been engaged in trade with Iran for profits will let the idiot from Arizona the answer is "both".

7. it's ok resistor
musti ,   ta   (06.25.10)
we already know you hate israel and you love iran. just stop waisting your time on a jewish forum where you can't change anything. you will just embarrass yourself after the strike, when we re-open iran as a huge parking lot for rent. although it's gonna take a while until the dust settles... so if u want to apply for space, you'll have to be a litle patient. get a job dude, get away from the internet café a little, it'll do you good.
8. #2 For someone who's hit the dust quite a lot you can share
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (06.25.10)
Your experience with them. That is,if they hit the ground as you say. Hey,even I remember the December deadline on iran Sarah!!!
9. #7 I wonder why its taking you so long to fight iran
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (06.25.10)
10 years so far!!!! Doesn't look like you have the stomach to go fight them.
10. #9 Update your spear throwing techniques
Cynthia ,   USA   (06.25.10)
Flotillas of sanctions are heading Iran's way. This is just the beginning and there is nothing Iran can do to stop them. Subsidy cuts to poor and low income Iranians, in anticipation of sanctions, reflects how desperate the Regime has become. Read post #4 and weep.
11. Sanctions against Iran
Anny Matar ,   Ramat - Chen; Israe   (06.25.10)
One of our Ministers used a very apt sentence : "Mr. President "Yes we can - what about Iran" It's about time too that the world gives itself a shake and does something about 1. our soldier Gilad Shalit held for 4 years under inhumane conditions without as much as a "humanitarian" visit from the Red Cross !!! and, 2.maybe too late, to force Iran's hand. No one helped the "Green" uprising, it's time for the world to realise that Iran = Hitler. Then as now, the world sat in comfort and watched it on the movie screens (now we watch it on TV) and-----Surprise surprise WWII began. The German's claim they didn't take Churchill seriously "starting a war over Danzig??". Once you put a full stop and say TILL HERE and mean it!! no one takes you seriousely. anny
12. Hameed, the way you describe the situation...
Persian CAT   (06.26.10)
this regime is not even alive and Iran in ruins! Sorry kiddo, there are a lot of things wrong with the IRI but you sure come across as croc shedding tears. It's very hard to take you seriously because you sound like a brochure not a real person. Israel's signing contracts with India and Russia has nothing to do with Iran. Iran and Israel are NOT in the same business and they sure are not competing for the same kind of contracts. Iran's "canceling" the non-existent flotilla is not a sign of fear. The "flotilla was just talk for "psychological" reasons. Therefore you are barking off the wrong tree. I hate the mollahcracy as much a any freedom-loving Iranian, but I won't go around spreading BS like "Iran has no money" the way you do without any data to back it up.
