Sanctions against the Iranian regime are pushing the Islamic Republic's economy into deep crisis, according to key Israeli officials in comments seen as a further indication unilateral military action may have been put on hold.
The Iranian rial fell 5% to an all-time low against the US dollar on Saturday, according to financial websites. The value of the rial has fallen by almost 57% since June last year, leading to big price increases for imported goods.
Israel's finance minister, Yuval Steinitz, said Iran's economy "is not collapsing, but it is on the verge of collapse". The loss of oil revenue would approach $45bn-$50bn (£28bn-£31bn) by the end of the year, he told Israel Radio. "The Iranians are in great economic difficulties as a result of the sanctions."

I think they are making nuclear weapons.. Making friends with North Korea, and their high enrichment of Uranium..It seriously doesn't take a rocket science to put to and to together.. It's practical common sense..It's funny, cause you go out in public and act innocent, and deep down you really are making weapons..but you trick the world in thinking your not..This has happened many times in history people..wake up and smell the coffee..

Of course, with the entire region seemingly being turned against the west, this is probably the main aim of the sanctions.
How long will Iran take it before striking out in retaliation, thus providing the west and Israel with their 'justification' for war?
and then germany was played as the aggressor simply because germany had NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO ACT!
So if Iran attacks first, which i doubt they will do unless threatened, then there is no one to blame but the zionists

You deny the fact that Iran is already terrorizing the Jewish state, and yet Israel would be off base to think Iran is developing nuclear weapons with the intention on deploying them in Israel.edit on 30-9-2012 by dontreally because: (no reason given)
How exactly is Iran "terrorising" the Israel estate?

What point were you trying to make by posting that map?

Umm, I explained it in the post you're quoting.
Hezbollah, the Shia terrorist organization, is directly funded by Iran. The entire organization was a creation of the Ayatollahs.
They're shooting rockets into northern Israel is terrorism.
The Israeli government killing 1.5 million civilians is terrorism.
