Russia-China military --- Move it inside Iran What if Iran sold a big chunk of oil rights to both Russia and China, at such a low price they could not refuse, on the condition that a big chunk of their military moved into Iran, thereby stopping the West from harming the good people of Iran? I mean, If were going to have a World War Three, lets start it off one the right foot.

War with Iran has a high possibility of becoming a regional war and then becoming WW3. The ulitimate confrontation could ignite from an ill thought plan by the US facists and Zionists.

"They have proven several times that they are superior fighters to the other armies of the middle east." You definitely in need of light.Just where do you get your facts from.Israel has never fought war with any country that had advance military arsenal.Let me refresh your memory,you have conveniently have forgotten about 22 war with hezbollah!How do you think Israeli army did there?Did they accomplish any of their objectives? The answer would be Big NO.They windup losing lot soldiers there and after only one week they were demoralized and lot of them didn't wanted to participate in the conflict.They were literally crying for their moms.Guess who trained hazbollah to be power to reckon with? IRAN is the answer of course,I bet you knew that anyway.So,if hazbollah was the student with only 10,000 fighter that gave the Israel such bad concussion,just imagine what would Iran do the instructor!ponder on that little bit,Israeli army is only good at killing bunch unarmed innocent civilian and kids that throw rocks at them.

Give Peace a chance.  Oh wait, we have been doing that for 32 years and all it got us was murdered Jews by Iran. Chosen for what? To carry water for the Zionists'? To follow the racist Talmud blindly?To believe that you are better than others when loads of others have higher IQ's and for sure better manners.To wreak havoc on the rest of us?To believe you are better so you sponge off of real humans that work?To worship Satan?

"He notes that through sanctions and the proposed embargo, the US is punishing the people of Iran “for the fact that in 1979 they rose up, they overthrew a US-backed dictator, and took the oil for themselves.”  The US has never forgiven them – and continues to seek to isolate and threaten Iran as a result, the activist believes."
And 1953, operation Ajax, when the champions of democracy USA and UK overthrew Iran's democratically elected government and installed a USA/UK friendly monarch.

Erratum: the news headline entitled "Top US general in Israel to hammer out Iran strategy" should have read "Top US general in Israel to recieve instructions to start war in Iran."

I really wish that Israel would do this on their own. Iran has to be stopped, but i think that Israel has the military to do it without the US.  They have proven several times that they are superior fighters to the other armies of the middle east. LOL!!! You just keep telling yourself that zionist troll. That zionist infested squatter camp will be destroyed should they touch Iran and the inbreds know that very well. I find it hilarious that people still post absolute BS as the truth and expect others to believe it. The world is wide awake my friend, wide awake.

. Ar menia [who shares a small border with Iran] has said that what negatively affects Iran will negatively affect Armenia.... oh and by the way... Russian troops are based in Armenia. Russia has said what affects Iran, affects the entire region [including Russia.] . S o?  Russia is like the handicap boy that soils his pants and wets his bed.  Russia cant do anything about it and Putin isto orried about his make up.
