    Iran warns Turkey about NATO's defense system

    TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran is warning Turkey against hosting NATO's missile defense system, saying such a move would escalate regional tensions.

    Foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast says Iran expects its neighbors not to pave way for policies that lead to "complicated consequences."

    Mehmanparast says Iran believes that having the missile defense system in Turkey would not serve regional stability. His remarks were reported by the official IRNA news agency on Thursday.

    Turkey has recently agreed to host an early warning radar as part of NATO's missile defense system aimed at countering ballistic missile threats from neighboring Iran.

    Washington hopes to have the radar deployed in Turkey by the end of the year.

      Nice, I think that having the missile defense system set up around the 'entire' national boarder of Iran to be in the interest of regional stability.

      IRAN keeps threatening countries, very soon thier bluff will be called. Scratch IRAN out of existence will be the result, it's coming.

      Iran's missile program is about to be neutered and they are not happy. Wahh, I want my mommy.

      Human nature has not changed hence there will be many profits and deaths.

        Well at least we can agree that human nature has not changed, what being a genetically encoded biological machine whose sole purpose is to survive, reproduce itself, and encode information from it's environment(consciousness) to further those goals. Or technology is all that has changed, well with some gentic code, but the goal remains.

      Shia Iran is a heretic country. Turkey is a NATO member. Iran would disappear from the earth. Beware Iran!

        Being utterly ridiculous aside, are you chronologically 6 or merely write as one?

      Why we so worried about a country half a world away even if they had nukes , having a delivery system that could reach us is a different story. Most likely the one's that should be worring is EU . I trust our naval forces to bring down any threat aimed at us.

        All they have to do is load one on a sail boat and sail it to NY Harbor, It really wouldn't be all that hard.

      Iran... you are the reason the anti missle and radar is being installed. So... tough #$%$
    • Jon  •  8 mths ago
      Iran is due for a serious ass whipping of their own choosing. If Iraq could beat them to a stalemate I'm sure Turkey could do much better.

      They sound like the North Koreans but not quite as insane .

    • skorpeo  •  8 mths ago
      turkey is clearly being un-neighborly!! how can iran be expected to launch missiles to europe and the mideast with the radar in place?
    • jtheat  •  8 mths ago
      The Mullahs are going to be pi$$ed. They might even wag their finger at you.

      I think this is the best option for the US to counter Iran's nuke ambition. Place radar and ICBM in Turkey.
    • Hot Dog Water  •  8 mths ago
      The U.S. has lots of HI-TECH weapons in the NUKE department, the neutron bomb would trash all of Irans electrical systems and lets see how there nuclear power plant handles that !!!!!
