    Iran holds air defense military exercises

    TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran says it has begun a four-day air defense military exercise aimed at upgrading its ability to protect its airspace and its nuclear facilities in case of an attack.

    The official IRNA news agency says the drills involve the elite Revolutionary Guard as well as Iran's regular army in an area covering 800,000 kilometers in eastern Iran, near the Afghan border. The war games began Saturday morning.

    The war games are taking place amid escalating tensions between Iran and the West over Iran's disputed nuclear program. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak has hinted that Israel may take military action.

    Iran denies that it is developing nuclear weapons.

      This is Iran’s response to our announcement this week that our military just deployed the new 30,000 pound bunker buster bombs throughout the world and on B-52 and B-2B bombers. They can penetrate over 200 feet of reinforced concrete and continue going down into the earth. We can put one anywhere on the planet in less than an hour. Their underground nuclear facility can be pulverized with minimal collateral damage.

      Well history tells me that the Arabs, and muslim and Nazis and Catholics and parodists all have mistreated the Jews because the Scriptures said they will inherit the earth and that during the time of the Scriptures they were the meek. After so much abuse the Jewish people are rebelling. They got my support all the way and they are gaining support every day. The answer is freeze out all who direct any type of threat and hatred to the Jewish race. They will survive no matter what. Can everyone else stand the mayhem?

      I'm not arguing against diplomacy, I'm arguing that we should be prepared for diplomacy failing. Simply, I believe that even under all of this pressure,
      if Iran continues to develop their weapons, they have intent.
      If they're really willing to risk war and occupation, they really really want those nukes.

      I also believe the way Iran's leaders like to use Islam, it is a scourge on the Iranian people, and it is a serious threat to Israel.
      And I'd rather have all out war with Iran than allow them nuclear weapons. This seems to be where we really differ in opinion. You don't take the threat of a nuclear Iran seriously.
      I believe it is not unlikely enough that they would fire off a nuke (or continue to impose its will via leverage) that we could allow them to have them.

        we dont have that right - no 1 does -not until all nukes are gone-as long as any country has a nuke-all countries have the same right to them- ..I.. your opinion is crap-brainwashed belief that the gd muslim boogie man is going to kill everything-which is another gd lie being spread by who-the gd jew media and our idiots in congress

      What do the islamist do best. blow hot air, exterminate other muslims, lose 6 wars to the tiny nation of Israel. Iran is the bully on the block today. Turkey wants to be the bully tomorrow. Israel (Jews are also called Israel) will always be strong because
      GOD is on their side. On the other hand the adversary of the Judeo-Christian GOD rules Islam. Did you know that there are over a billion muslims in the world and only 12 to 18 million Jews in the whole world. Right DAVID AGAINST GALLEITH. King David Wins because GOD called David his first son on EARTH

      The Arabs always wanted to destroy the Jews, the Jews defend themselves. What else is there to this story?
    • frank  •  Anaheim, United States  •  6 mths ago
      Iran does not care about the consquences if they use a NUKE. they would see it as a martyr type mission and would gladly use a nuke
    • freeman 44  •  6 mths ago
      Did they call up their 12th Imam from the bottom of that well he is hiding in. It’s his army and needs his leadership to conquer the universe.

      Here's a TIP; it is Iran's best interest (or at least the Iranian REGIME's best interest) to build a nuclear weapon as quickly as possible. WHY? Because as recent lessons have shown dramatically, it is the ONLY guarantor of national sovereignty. The ONLY ONE!

      Without a nuke, your government can be overthrown, your nation invaded, all SORTS of bad things can happen, especially if you have a habit of being confrontational and 'non-aligned' (as in 'not bought-off').

      Iraq was invaded and essentially DESTROYED because while it was 'thought' they might be working towards a nuke, they didn't have one yet (at least, that was the excuse).

      Afghanistan was ALSO invaded and destroyed, because they didn't have a nuke, but Pakistan has been handled VERY much with 'kid gloves,' even though they bear a AT LEAST as much responsibility as anything the Afghans have done, and in fact SOLD nuclear technology to everybody and their uncle (including Libya, and North Korea).

      North Korea obtained a nuke, and look at the big scramble to bring them back into the picture with all sorts of aid and other crap designed to 'keep them happy.' All the plans to 'invade' North Korea have been quietly shelved.

      Khadaffi GAVE UP his nuclear program in order to achieve a rapprochement with the rest of the world, and in particular, the US. And what good did that do HIM?

      With American forces in Iraq on ONE side, and American forces in Afghanistan on the OTHER side, and Israel rattling sabers under their noses, why WOULDN'T the Iranians (ALSO in that 'axis of evil') do EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER to obtain a nuke? They will SAY anything, SIGN anything, PROMISE anything and DO anything, but one thing they will NOT do is give it up, nor should anyone rational believe they MIGHT.

      Ayatollah so? Thats funny!
    • Jeff  •  6 mths ago
      Apart from the delusional end time doctrine and the 12th Imam nonsense that the mullahs intrinsically imbibe, the stark fact is that the country is facing a grim economic future.
      The evil Mullahs realize that the only way they will survive is by outright conquest and occupation of the region.

      The West, Israel and the Sunni Arabs have realized that this regime has to be defeated and booted out for world peace. The die has already been cast.
