War with Iran a step closer, report

Share:

AMERICA yesterday branded Iran a “pariah state” and threatened it with a military strike.

A senior US official warned if no diplomatic solution is reached over Tehran’s nuclear programme it could mean war.

The State Department’s arms adviser Robert Einhorn said: “Iran is violating international obligations and norms. It is becoming a pariah state. The situation in Iran has become more and more worrisome.

“The timeline for its nuclear programme is beginning to get shorter, so it is important we take these strong steps on an urgent basis. If we do not, pressures will grow for much stronger actions.

“The US favours a diplomatic solution but, if we cannot achieve it soon, inevitably interests will grow in a different kind of solution.”

Plans for a US strike are currently being drawn up. Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claims its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes but Tehran has warned it would respond to any attack on it by striking at Israel and US interests in the Gulf.

The West last week tightened sanctions against Iran, with the EU expanding an Iranian blacklist and the US Senate clamping down on Iran’s oil income.

It followed demonstrators over-running British embassy buildings in Tehran last week. Iranian diplomatic staff were then thrown out of the UK on Friday.

On Sunday Iran claimed to have shot down a US spy drone in its airspace – although the US counter-claimed it was in Afghanistan.

Yesterday Iran also vowed it would be opposed to the presence of foreign troops in neighbouring Afghanistan after 2014.

    America is bankrupt from the Iraq & War on Terror campaign. If America thought the war with Iraq was hard and long lasting, God help them when they see Iran. This is clearly a statement by America to kiss Israels ass before the next election to get the Jewish vote. Its all talk, America has no more time and money for problems that dont involve themselves. If America worried about their own nation as much as they worried about other nations, maybe theyd be more successful and less ignorant.

      Actually a war of that scale will help jump start economies… and yes America is ignorant for not letting a rogue state develop a nuke. The U.S. learned that invasion is not an option so they will destroy Iran from the air. They have enough firepower to send the entire region into the dark ages. Oops sorry! Beirut with no electricity is already in the dark ages. Enjoy your blackouts… It’s actually healthy to sleep with the chicken when the power goes off.

        Problem is, it’s not the chickens who think they should keep squawking.
        And a surge in one friend’s house in tripoli blew the main, and wires were smoking. What the hell are they doing ???

        Ok and North Korea has a nuke, America hasn’t ever said one word. Haha jumpstart the economy? Just take a look at the economy shortly after the Iraq war. Also look at all the poor American soldiers families who lost their sons for a nonsense war and invasion. Sorry Hannibal but history proves no war can be easily won from the air. In the end it comes down to the street to street fight.

      Hmmm … run around and see if you can find some bits and pieces of an aircraft. 🙂 Might be worth something besides crowing about. 😉
