Do they? They Russians have a different opinion, they just stated that a couple of days ago.

uk.reuters.com...

And what proof do all these countries have for their accusations? Exactly, NONE!

I believe Germany, the US and Israel are "very worrisome"

Originally posted by charles1952Israel believes that if Iran has nuclear weapons, and if Iran uses them, then Israel will be completely destroyed.

These are not lies fabricated by Israel. They are the results of investigations and the Iranian government's words and actions.


Where is your proof?

Ooooh I forgot you don't need proof, just bomb the . out of those . Persians just in case they get a bomb. And hell yeah lets detonate a nuclear bomb over Iran and bomb that . country back to the stone age.

500.000 dead children is always worth it, isn't it, we heard that inhumane nonsense before and who cares if hospitals in Iran are working or not, if the water supply is up or not, just . , right?



Originally posted by charles1952I think it would help you to realize that even though you think it's nonsense, most of the rest of the world doesn't.


The rest of the world is not Germany, Europe, the US and Israel. There was a meeting of the "Unaligned Nations (120)" in Teheran a couple of weeks ago. Only "US agents Mursi and Ban Ki Moon" were "shooting" at Iran. Two thirds of all UN members obviously don't have a problem with Iran

It may be that it's late, or for some other reason, but it seems as though everything I'm writing seems to be misunderstood, or unread, or confusing to you. Whatever it is, we don't seem to be having a reasonable discussion.

I'll try a nap. See you tomorrow.

Which side your on is the only thing that determines "who you think is worrisome"

To a nation like Russia that has a card to play for it's benefit in containment of the USA domination of Europe etc... well of course Iran won't do anything.

In 2005 he caused uproar by being quoted as saying that Israel should be "wiped off the map".

Persian language scholars say a more correct translation of his comment would read: "Israel must vanish from the page of time."


Sorry I can't take that serious.

Why don't we intervene in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, two of the worlds most oppressive regimes?

These things are meaningless vs being alive.


Threats are made from both sides. In that case Iran has just as much reason to attack Israel. They are not doing that, all they are saying is, that they will retaliate.

Originally posted by penninja... and If Israel makes a move while it has the upper hand it's perfectly understandable


Again, on what basis? There is no nuclear weapons program, and you seem to forget, that this is the reason for the continuous Zionist threats. Is it ok now, if we attack each other based on messianic feelings and assumptions made by nutjob politicians?
edit on 10-9-2012 by ALF88 because: (no reason given)


Hey, I never said Iran wouldn't have just as much right to attack first right now given the threats and scenario either.

No I absolutely do not think that WE as in anyone should attack anyone else over Messianic predictions.

But here is my feeling on the subject. Judaism, here in America 8 of 10 Jews marries out of the religion, in the 5 world powers, Europe, Russia, America, China... religion has devolved into sets of customs, America admittedly has the worst "problem" with fanatics but mainly they are laughed at, another generation it's over. As Judaism goes, even the bulk of Israel is modern, despite high birth rates among the Orthodox more are lost to this thought line every year and the trend grows, likewise Judaism isn't a threat to a modern world to me because they Do NOT convert, not converting while loosing numbers among the fanatic caste doesn't threaten me.

I find ALL messianic thought to be threatening and Islam is that threat these days

So how could I ever support a cleric run nation? If the biggest goes down....

I honestly sort of see a bigger picture here if the region goes hot, I see an end to this nonsense and a new era, i don't believe the big 5 will go at each other over it, I think cooler heads will prevail and it will be a "lesson" to the rest of us. The and of an age.

Do i want anyone to die? No.... Do i think they will? yes?

I think of the region as.... almost a zombie infected zone, and too much of the zombie virus is getting out.

I've known Americans to go to "the promised land" and come back obsessed, same for mecca on the other end... the look in the eye doesn't feel "spiritual" to me the look is...dead, honestly, It's hard to even understand how it happens

Israel vs Iran... Israel isn't actually contagious, they don't convert

sorry but that's how i feel...

Sorry, but not a single report from the IAEA contains a single shred of evidence, that clearly states that Iran is developing a nuclear weapon. It is all speculation till the point of complete fraud (the laptop), just to create a reason for an attack.

Yeah right. Sorry you are wrong again. Proof for this is available!

www.guardian.co.uk...

It was Israeli historian van Crefeld who said, that Israels nuclear arsenal is so big, they can take the rest of the world with them, if they go down!

Originally posted by Xcathdra* - The 2 people in the source you gave are analysts / journalist, not members of the Israeli government speaking on authority.


Your article "translates" Iran's statements as well, just wrong that's the problem. Even the Israeli media is translating, what they said as "Zionist regime" and not Israel.

Originally posted by XcathdraI find it funny that you are quick to dismiss western intelligence sources with regards to Irans program while at the same time embracing them when the info goes against Israel. If you are going to accept the info for one, then you must accept it for the other.


Right back at ya my friend, just the other way around!

Apart from that there is no proof from western or Israeli intelligence services. In addition to that, they are all against an attack.

There is no way the U.S. would allow Israel to use a Nuclear EMP over Iran. First of all because of the Radiation and secondly because the U.S. has very powerful Non-Nuclear EMP's in their inventory. The problem with using either is that Iran is very close to Having a Leadership Change as the Current Pro-Democracy Movement is waiting for the right moment.
Over 70% of the entire Iranian population is under the age of 30 Years Old. Over 94% of Iranians want Good Relations with the U.S. so if the U.S. did use it's Non-Nuclear EMP's it could save lives but it would destroy Irans entire Communications and Power Grid.
A hopeful scenario would be the success of current secret Military to Military Talks going on between Iranian Military Leaders and the U.S. Military. These talks are being done much in the way they were done in Iraq. The Iranian Military has the most to loose here and the Only Country with the capabilities to Seize Iranian Nuclear Sites as well as talk the Iranian Military into standing down or refusing an Order from the Old Religious Guard Leadership...such as ordering the Iranian Navy to Close the Strait of Hormuz...which would be SUICIDAL for the Iranian Navy as Iranian Admirals KNOW that if they followed such an order...the U.S. Navy would OBLITERATE the entire Iranian Navy. Thus the Iranian Navy is being given a chance to Stand Down and become a Navy to protect a Free Democratic Iran...or total destruction. The U.S. would send in Thousands of Special Forces and Airborne Ranges to seize the Nuclear Sites...the U.S. Military is talking in secret with Iranian Army Leaders who know that any Counter Attack would result in entire Iranian Divisions Ceasing to exist. In Iraq...the U.S. picked a Sample Target that was a Republican Guard Division...85 to 100 Thousand Men...and this Division was KNOWN for it's atrocities. A large Wing of B-52's carrying New Smart Carpet Bombing Weapons flew over the Division. Other Iraqi Divisions said that they could hear and see from HUNDREDS of miles away the Bombing Run by the B-52's...NOT ONE IRAQI MEMBER OF THIS DIVISION SURVIVED. That next morning the remaining Iraqi Divisions surrendered and most Soldiers took off their Uniforms and walked home. In IRAN...this can be avoided as if the Iranian Military REFUSE ORDERS by the Old Religious Guard...the Pro-Democracy Movement will take over power and the Iranian Military can be preserved to be the Protectors of this new Government. I think this is HIGHLY LIKELY. Still...just as in Iraq...the Old Guard has a Division that is Highly Paid and Loyal to the Old Guard...they may have to be used as an EXAMPLE TARGET.

The U.S. sees a possible Persian Ally and keeping Israel out of the Fight is paramount as the Iranian Military sees no Dishonor surrendering to U.S. Forces as they will continue to serve Iran...but if Israel gets involved...they will FIGHT! The way it is seen by Iran's Military...following an order from the old Religious Guard that would result in the Deaths of Hundreds of Thousands and the Iranian Military has told the Old Guard there is NO CHANCE of Victory...is an order that they can disobey while preserving a bit of Honor in the Knowledge it is a Hopeless Fight.

This is not the case with Israel in the picture and this is why the U.S. have ORDERED Israel not to do anything. The Old Religious Guard is seen by the Military as willing to Sacrifice Everything to keep themselves in power. When a few months back a Military Leader who is more of a Mouthpiece of the Regime stated that the Iranians could Hold their Own against the U.S. Military and in fact inflict massive losses upon the U.S....the REAL MILITARY LEADERSHIP in the field and at sea as well as the Air Force CRINGED! This is when the Secret Military to Military Talks were initiated by the U.S. Military. The Iranian Military Leaders KNOW that the U.S. Military will not Bomb the Iranian Nuclear Sites and that the U.S. will be FORCED to Attack if the Iranians attempted to Close the Strait of Hormuz as this is the Life Line for the Majority of the Worlds Oil. They also KNOW the U.S. would never allow this to happen again or allow a Iranian Leadership to stay in power that ordered the Closing. Thus the Iranian Military sees that their own Government does not CARE if their own People...their own Military is DESTROYED just to stay in power. They will most likely STAND DOWN and claim support for the NEW DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP. If this happens...very little blood spilled and given the Iranian Military's alternative which would be TOTAL OBLITERATION...I and the U.S. is BETTING they will back the Pro-Democracy Movement. The U.S. could have a whole new Ally in the Middle East. Split Infinity

Originally posted by ALF88

No they are not - Iran has enrichment facilities at Parchin, a military base, and never disclosed it to the IAEA as they are required to do. That info is in the FAS article as well and it also made headlines because the facility was disclosed by Western intelligence sources.

Whats better is apparently you just glossed over my post instead of taking the time to read the soures. No where did I bring up the past comment about wiped off the map. What I did do was provide you with sources where Ahamdenijad / Ayatollah are quoted calling for the destruction of ISrael. All of those sources are from 2012 and one is sourced back to Presstv.

So yes, they both have threatened to destroy / wipe / remove / cut out Israel from the map.

As I stated before there is no regime in Israel according to Iran. They dont recognize the Israeli government nor do they recognize the existence of Israel, so there is really no "regime" to remove. Nor is there a nation to remove since they dont recognize it, which brings us back to Iran wanting all Israelis removed.

No they arent getting it wrong. You are so tunnel visioned that you are not taking the time to read the sources. The sources I posted are all from 2012 and have nothing to do with the incident you are talking about..


Originally posted by ALF88

Then maybe you should read the posts and sources completely. Had you done that you would see I am not referring to the 2005 incident.

Because the US had nothing to do with the arab revolution. I find it weird people compain about US involvement and how they should stay out of other nations affairs only to then argue the US should have acted.

Its contradictory and undermines the point in both directions. Al Queida are not limited to just the M.E. and have been present in other countries around the globr for some time. Should we saddle up and go remove Al Queida from those countries as well?

People seem befuddled on this point...

We can either be involved or not be involved. Which one would you like choose?

Originally posted by ALF88

To stop the bloodshed sure, im for that. However it would also mean involvement in Syria, Iran and several other M.E. countries who oppress their own citizens.

If we go into Bahrain / Saudi Arabia would you spport involvement in Syria and Iran?


Originally posted by ALF88
Do you have any idea what it means for a country if an EMP is used? I seriously doubt it!

An EMP is a result of a nuclear weapon that is detonated high in the atmosphere. The pulse will interfere / fry anything electronic while the radiation / explosion results would be negligable to the population.

So yes, I know what they are and what they can do.

As I stated before there is no recognized government in Israel through the eyes of Iran. There is no nation of Israel in the eyes of IRan. Their threats are directed at all Israelis and not just the "zionists".

If they are directed solely at the government then can you explain why Hamas / Hezzbullah, both funded and supplied by Iran, are targeting civilians? Last I checked a family of 5 is not the Israeli "Zionist regime"

Not really...

The IAEA reports do contain information about IRans ability to develop nuclear weapons as well as documenting Irans inability to comply with 2 treaties they signed voluntarily. They are violating the treaties by refusing to disclose their Parchin enrichment location, by refusing to make members of their program available to IAEA inspectors, by purposely obtaining material needed in the construction of a nuclear wepon through unoffical channels etc etc etc.

Actually no im not wrong.. The Israeli government has never confirmed nor denied the question. The source you provided relies on S. African sources, not ISrael government officals. So its ok to use speculation and 3rd 4th 5th 6th hand information towards Israel yet when its done to Iran those very sources are dismissed?

There has been no announcement by the Israeli government on the issue.

Again its not coming from an Israeli government source. Again if you wish to apply that logic to Israel then we can apply it to Iran. There is a lot of intelligence / military sources inside / outside of Iran stating Irans program has militry aspects. Why are their positions summarily dismissed when it comes to Iran?


Originally posted by ALF88

Thats because in the eyes of Iran there is no Israel and their is no Israeli government.

I am not talking about the 2005 incident. The sources I linked are from 2012 and deal specifically with statements made by Ahmadenijad / Ayatollah in 2012. It has nothing to do with the 2005 incident.

Parchin is a military installation, not subject to IAEA inspections as Iran DID NOT RATIFY the additional protocol. You can whine all you want, there is no violation of the NPT! That is a FACT! Due to the fact that it was proven to you before I cannot say that you are just uninformed, you are blatantly lying!

The Iranians have built and are running Tens of Thousands of Centrifuges. There is only ONE REASON that they would need this many Centrifuges as if they obeyed the NPT they can enrich Uranium or even BUY Uranium to run their Reactors. It is A HELL OF A OT MORE EXPENSIVE to build and run all these centrifuges than to simply buy Uranium Reactor Grade Fuel. And they certainly would not use this method for the creation of making Reactor Grade Fuel.

The ONLY REASON to do this is to secretly enrich enough uranium to Weapons Grade. The U.S. has ordered Israel that they are not to Bomb these sites as it would poison the whole area. This reality is more than enough proof to state that IRAN HAS AN ACTIVE PROGRAM TO DEVELOP A NUCLEAR WEAPON. Split Infinity
