US-Iran Escalation: Iran Arrests 30 US Spies As It Builds Venezuelan Missile Base; America Sends A Third Aircraft Carrier To Persian Gulf | zero hedge
You have to wonder where all this is going to end, somehow i cant see the US allowing Iran to setup in venezuelia without major opposition. It also occurs to me that the US is pretty stretched as it is, i wonder if we'll finally start to see a major pull out of troops from Iraq ready for a potential conflict with Iran.
Win =)
We've had a lot more threads popping up about things going on between US and Iran, but I just remembered that this one was here. Will try to use this one as a catch-all.
Here's some more drama:

I wonder why we're only hearing about this a week later? :-?
Hopefully Ron Paul gets elected before any shit hits the fan.
To borrow a meme - Vids or it didn't happen.
Iran claims evidence to tie US to killing - Middle East - Al Jazeera English
Iran claims it has evidence the CIA was behind the assassination. They sent the evidence to Switzerland because I guess the Swiss represent US interests in nations we're not on good terms with.
Yeah. They actually do a lot of the communication to/from Iran and a few other places, for us. There's another country that we get to handle some of the correspondence between the U.S. and Iran, too. I just can't remember what it is at the moment.Quote:

And with the recent history of American aggression towards the middle-east, it's a logical conclusion that the US is about to invade Iran. Iran wants to make sure that this doesn't happen. The Iranian government knows that the Iraq war was primarily about oil, Iran has oil. It's the same standoff that happened when the USA put missiles in striking distance of Moscow during the cold war, they responded by putting missiles in cuba. The US occupying the middle east is seen no differently by the people of the middle east as the Soviet occupation of the middle east 30 years ago. If there is a war, we started it, not them.
The other day Iran said they had proof that the US was the one assassinating their nuclear scientist.
