I did a search on the title and got nothing.

Link to article on RTNews.

I mention it is RT news as some people don't think they are credible but, then quote Fox news word for word.

Iran says it won't resort to terrorism to avenge the murder of another of its nuclear scientists. The speaker of the Iranian parliament accused Tel Aviv of carrying out the killing in a desperate US-backed bid to stop Tehran's atomic program.


I think it is great that Iran says it won't resort to terrorism for vengeance. I also hope they don't flat out attack whoever is behind it either. If this was a half-assed attempt to stop the atomic program, well, when 1000 students sign up because 1 person was killed, I would call that a failed attempt.

Plus, if Iran does have proof, they should release it.

RT’s Paula Slier reports that many in Israel believe their country is already engaged in a covert war against Iran and are concerned that it may soon turn into an open military conflict. Tensions are mounting over Tehran’s civilian nuclear program, which some observers say is being used to develop nuclear weapons.


It isn't just many people in Israel that believe their country is engaged in a covert war against Iran, there are quite a few people that believe that. I sure hope it doesn't turn into an open military conflict. Enough innocents have died already. So, does anyone not know that tensions are mounting yet? The thing is, Iran says they aren't building nukes. The US knows they aren't. The third impartial party (IAEA) has no proof.

The IAEA carries out regular inspections of Iranian nuclear sites but has not sent a senior official for talks since August, before it released its latest report containing what was described as intelligence showing Iran's nuclear military aims. Western countries seized on the IAEA report last month to ratchet up economic sanctions.


From Reuters, Dec. 20/11.


“Israel is signaling to the world that if the world doesn’t do anything, if the world doesn’t call for more fierce actions, for more crippling sanctions, quoting the Secretary of State Clinton, then Israel will take the initiative and strike alone,” says Israeli investigative journalist and author Ronen Bergman.


I would hope if Israel does start an illegal war, that for their sake Iran does not have a nuclear bomb. I also hope Israel does not use theirs against Iran.

As well as the series of assassinations of scientists, there are other signs that a coordinated attack on Iran’s nuclear program may be underway. There have been two aircraft accidents in the space of three years, mysterious damage to equipment and the Stuxnet computer virus attack on enrichment facilities.

“Putting everything together, it is clear that whoever it is – be it someone or some agency – is very successful in infiltrating, understanding and at last, sabotaging the Iranian nuclear project,” Bergman believes.


That much is clear. Let's hope cooler heads prevail and everyone ups their dose of common sense.

Sad thing is that if Israel and Iran get into it, I think it would be the beginning of something that people have been praying won't happen since the cold war.

The only solution is to try and make one or both of them back off. Israel is all ready to go at them, Iran has said they will defend themselves. Israel has said they don't want the US's help. China and Russia seem to be backing Iran. If the US/Israel attacks I believe it will be the end of NATO. As for how to make this insanity stop, well, you have to tell Israel to back off, US go home and Iran can continue minding it's own business, with the IAEA still stopping in to make sure they are following the NPT.

For all the effort from both sides to win hearts and minds, it really won't mean much. These two seem headlong to a fight and what you and I think really means nothing.


I agree that what we think really means nothing, but, we can sure as hell hope, write letters to our representatives and let them know how we feel. If nothing is done, than we are just as culpable as the war mongers.
