...while under threat of attack by the West. Who benefits the most from these bungled operations where only Iranians get killed, Israel.

What a load of BS you said. Iran is behind Hezbollah, a terrorist group, that attacked US Embassies and Barracks in Lebanon in 83, carried out kidnappings of us nationals in Lebanon, bombed 2 times Argentina (1st Israeli Embassy bombing in 92 and AMIA bombing in 94) and continues to fight Israel and US. read some history. It seems to me you need to to a lot of reading...

All despotic regimes are continually resorting to distracting P.R. to keep the repressed populace from correctly thinking who at the head of the state is really reaponsible for its predicament.. Iran under the yolk of the ayatollahs is no different & it does not need the sanctions as a pretext to spew propaganda lies. Washington is using its own P.R. to make us believe that the sanctions are so effective that a decision to take action against the iranian nuclear program is not urgent, at least until the coming presidential elections which are likely to be dicey for the incumbant given the poor economic situation in the USA where no president was reelected when unemployment stood over 9% of the work force. This is dangerous procrastination for purposes of internal US politics. It gives more precious time to the rogue state to achieve its goal & to export terrorism as recently demonstrated in India & in Thailand.

an iranian passport blowing his legs off with a grenade is a Mossad plot. Change meds steve and get a new therapist.

IN PRINCIPLE, ALSO IN THAT CASE, GRADUALLY, AT LAST EVERY COUNTRY/PEOPLE SHOULD/HAS TO MIND IT''S OWN NATIONAL, INTERNAL, DOMESTICAL BUSINESS. IF SUPPOSED TO BE NEEDED, SUCH AN INSTITUTION AS THE ENTIRE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION COULD/CAN BE CONSULTED, IN CASE OF A U.N.O. MEMBERSHIP, (IN THAT CASE THAT IS NEARLY A DUTY.) FOR ADVISE, A CERTAIN SOLUTION, AT/IN THE INTEREST, PROSPERITY OF EVERY PEOPLE/MANKIND (FOR THE TIME-BEING, ON THE SURFACE OF THE PLANET OF EARTH.)

before iran can strike israel, it should initiate a devastating air strike to totally cripple Iran, hezbollah and Hamas terrorists, ha!

and don't forget to dig a moat.

This winter is not so cold, What is with you brains, man? Are they frozen, or you simply do not have them. Except from nazis and anti-semites I have never heard anything more stupid.

in the Gulf or tries to close the Straits.

In league with the neonazis world wide supporting the Syrian Baath torturers this state deserves sanctions to semen its peoples for a humanitarian Islamic regime that seeks world peace.

And especially with all the hard evidence at our disposal. Kind of makes you think doesn't Steven? Steven I said, IT KIND OF MAKES YOU.... Nevermind... Just, yes, they actually are that foolish

BUT I THOUGHT THEY'RE GETTING A NUKE IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR!?!? every year its always "in less than a year or 2, Iran will have nuclear weapon" BS

I am 60 years old, and a Christian in the U. S. state of Washington. I will continue to pray for Israel, and continue to support Israel no matter what the U.S. governments' position may be. We currently have incompetent leadership in our Whitehouse as you all are aware. This will change in the coming months.

This matter should have been stemmed eons ago. Israel would be insane to depend on this President, the EU or the UN. When a mad dog is charging at you, with the limbs of loved ones already in its jaws - it is no time for diplomacy.

So, the US, whose intelligence said that Iran had stopped its nuclear program (but it hadn't), is not impressed by Iran's nuclear progress. But, unquestionably, a mushroom cloud rising over Tel Aviv would be impressive. Anyone care to wait for the US to be impressed?

That the iranian govt is engaged in preaching to the masses to counter that sanctions are bitting hard. BS that is weak analysis, if anything this conclusion falls into category of wanting to believe or wishful because it fits the image that sanctions are having the desired effect. In my onion, the Iranian govt has already crossed the threshold of the people be dammed and their actions and proclaimations are meant for the consumption by govt officials to stay the course.

Of course the Obama government says it is not impressed, because if it said it was impressed there would be additional pressure on Obama to take military action against Iran or at least help Israel with a strike. This way Obama waits it out until Iran gets the bomb and then say there is nothing the U.S. can now do. As for Israel, the Muslim in Chief doesn't give a damn.

...are being brought to justice, all three of them; and, now that the method of explosion has been found identical to that used in New Delhi, India a day earlier, and in Georgia on the same day; the Iranian regime is pushing further its development of nuclear ability, coming very short to the development of nuclear weapons. How much more evidence does the world need to realize that if the Islamists of Teheran are not contained, the weapons that are being developed will be at the hands of terrorists roaming the world under Iran's instruction, and it is only a matter of time the streets of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Ottawa will be the arena of operation for these Ilamists. It is high time to stand up and be counted as fighters against these people whose only interest is death and destruction!!
