    Iran's Paying Attention to Israeli Plans for a Major Defensive Drill

    Iran's Paying Attention to Israeli Plans for a Major Defensive Drill

    As Iran makes noise about possibly closing the Hormuz strait, Israel is planning its own missile defense drill with American help, and while the U.S. ally says the drill has nothing to do with Iran's recent muscle-flexing, Iranian press outlet described it as Israel trying to start a war. That's exactly what the west thinks Iran's doing with its Hormuz strait exercises, and why Europe is trying to embargo Iran's oil. The story from Iran's state-run broadcaster PressTV, which Business Insider pointed to Thursday morning, refers to a U.S. military agreement with Israel from Dec. 20. Oddly, the PressTV report headlined "US deploys troops in Israel for Iran war," doesn't actually cite a source for that assertion or even quote anyone saying the U.S. or Israel are readying for a war. Just before noon on Thursday, the AP reported that the joint Israeli-U.S. operation was an official thing, and would go ahead under the code name Austere Challenge 12. The AP says a date hasn't been set for the operation, but PressTV wrote that it would take place in January -- an assertion it attributed to the site Global Research, which doesn't look very reliable.

      Its all a #$%$ excuse to raise gas, oil & what ever the hell the fat cats want, there is no reason for this, its time for us as a nation to open up the wells & start pumping we have oil in many states, its time to keep it in house once & for all. Gas prices only create Inflation nothing else it doesnt take a rocket scientist to see all this phony manipulation in the name of gas. or oil. The fat cats can afford it we the working class cannot.

      can't we all just get along?

      The gas price has started going up and up which is good for Wall Street and bad for
      consumers. If such rhetoric keeps on going, soon the price of a gallon of gas will
      cross $5.00 a gallon. And, where will it stop, who knows? Then some people will
      start saying 'look the gas price some where in Europe is so much, at $5 a gallon in US
      it is still cheaper. But the idiots don't know the difference between Europe and US.
      So, say the pundits!

        Do u only see and hear what you want too? If gas prices sky rocketed to high from the Iranian Oil Embargo Saudi Arabia has already said theyll release more of their Oil to help offset Irans oil.
      • XYZ 4 mths ago
        Do you believe Saudi Arabia? Saudi Arabia or others in ME are all alike,
        chips of the same block. You say one word about the king or any one in
        his family, the next moment your pretty neck will be off your shoulders.
        Just enjoy the freedom of speech in this wonderful land called USA.
        So, say the pundits!

      Iranians are nice people, but its rulers are a bunch of thugs and traitors. They must be wiped out. Not the people.

      According to the Iranian president Dr. Ahmadinejad,” Israel is so weak that she does not even considered by Iranian defense doctrine as a factor. Ha ha ha!

        Well, they sure didn't do well in Lebanon, now did they?

      We can only pray that Iran is foolish and arrogant enough to actually attack a US Navy aircraft carrier,Iran would find it's entire so called navy either on the bottom of the gulf or running away for dear life in a matter of days.Then for good measure and to educate them on the error of their ways drop a very large bomb on downtown Tehran and turn it into a parking lot and the first SOB like Pakistan,Syria or Afghanistan that starts #$%$ drop one on them to because if they had one there is no doubt they would use it on us.As for the 7 million muslims living in my country you will have 48hrs to get out or we deport you to Israel.

      If Iran starts a war, it will get shot in more places than its foot!

      this reminds me of the beginning of world war 2 .. give hitler anything he wants just so we have peace in our times... well got news here there has never been peace on earth since the beginning of documented history... theonly difference is the level of extinction we are capable... Iran is set for a fight.... they want to be reduced to rubble so they can petition other governments to set up better schools and hospitals...... and if your gonna give ultimatiums and go around making enemies ... expect those enemies to band together to get rid of a common problem so they can get on with life.... freedom is never free .... if you don't want to be fighting (Iran) dont' give orders to the rest of the world....

        Yes these Dumb Towel heads want to go head on with the west. The US,
        Israel, & European have 2 choices, either accept to let them have nuclear
        bomb and shut up, or nail them hard without give IRAN a chance to get
        up or recover and shoot back with deathly weapons or able to close the
        Hormuz !

    • Tamila  •  4 mths ago
      If this happens, every muslim here in the US will be put in concentration camps that are already built across the nation or they will be deported. Will President Obama have the cajones to not just back Isreal but to end this terror and murderous country Iran?
    • joe_blue  •  Fort Worth, Texas  •  4 mths ago
      all you dumb americans requiring the use of a SUV of high horsepower to move your fat #$%$ is ridiculous and you know it. it wastes precious gas. you wont quit until it really financially hurts you...so be it. All your strident voices havent moved ANY government to change ONE IOTA! In fact, congress is planning to add an additional 5 cent tax. time to change , dumb bubbas. BTW, I'm a native american.I fill my car every other week. And I go everywhere and I'm not scrimping on other things either. BWhahahaha

      country that lives in glass house shouldn't throw stones.
    • Russ Lightfoot  •  4 mths ago
      I was good friends with an iranian and his family years ago in high school, they left during the Shah era when he was still in power, to live in the US. It is not the people that are bad, just their leadership, government. Sounds similar, to our Army national guard Bureau and state commands, Anarchy! Doesnt follow army regulations, violates federal law, and instills the good ole boy system. Thank god we have our active duty guarding our country and reserves too. Politicians make the laws but never enforce them, unless it benefits them (money)

      If obama is reelected we will see $5 a gallon gas before he is ejected, and it will be all his doing
