TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran would “blow up the heart” of Israel if it was attacked by the Jewish state or the United States, a Revolutionary Guards official was quoted Friday as saying. “Even if one American or Zionist missile hits our country, before the dust settles, Iranian missiles will blow up the heart of Israel,” Mojtaba Zolnour said, according to IRNA news agency.

The United Arab Emirates, “in a step coordinated with Washington,” recently agreed to increase oil exports to China from the current 50,000 barrels per day to 150,000-200,000, the Wall Street Journal  reported Tuesday . The move is viewed as an Obama administration strategy to reduce Beijing’s reliance on Iran to meet its growing energy needs. It appears to be a move designed to contain Iran’s sphere of influence in the long run by offering China an alternative source of energy, therby reducing Iran’s leverage and influence.

by JasonThis may be a development — more like a slight of hand — but it is hardly a deal. Time is of the essence in regards to something like uranium enrichment. And with Iran’s constant waffling, time is on Tehran’s side. Besides, if push comes to shove, Russia will always be there to step in and lend a hand. See video for that tidbit.Danger Room So, Iran has tentatively struck a deal that will involve shipping most of its known supply of low-enriched uranium overseas.

Common sense dictates that if you have a nuclear deterrent, you need to verify that it works. If your enemies suspect that it doesn’t (or won’t) work, deterrence fails and nuclear war evolves from a distant threat to a frightening possibility. The United States hasn’t tested a nuclear device since the end of the Cold War. We haven’t designed a new weapon since the introduction of the Peacekeeper missile and it’s powerful Mk-21 warheads during the Reagan administration.

F. William Engdahl Infowars October 22, 2009 One of the most remarkable aspects of the Obama Presidential agenda is how little anyone has questioned in the media or elsewhere why at all the United States Pentagon is committed to a military occupation of Afghanistan. There are two basic reasons, neither one of which can be admitted openly to the public at large. Control of the Afghan drug market is essential for the liquidity of the bankrupt and corrupt Wall Street financial mafia.

The Washington Post ’s editors report the sentencing of Iranian-American scholar Kian Tajbakhsh to 15 years in prison. They, unlike the feckless White House, see this as a telling signal about the Iranian regime’s intentions: The arrest and trial of Mr. Tajbakhsh and more than 140 other people, including a number of opposition leaders, constitute a key element in the coup that the regime’s hard-liners have staged against more moderate elements — including those who genuinely favor rapprochement with the West.

Dick Cheney last night…. So among my other concerns about the drift of events under the present administration, I consider the abandonment of missile defense in Eastern Europe to be a strategic blunder and a breach of good faith. It is certainly not a model of diplomacy when the leaders of Poland and the Czech Republic are informed of such a decision at the last minute in midnight phone calls. It took a long time and lot of political courage in those countries to arrange for our interceptor system in Poland and the radar system in the Czech Republic.

No commentary, I’m posting Dick Cheney’s speech in full as prepared and delivered to the Center for Security Policy last night. Thank you all very much. It’s a pleasure to be here, and especially to receive the Keeper of the Flame Award in the company of so many good friends.

STATE DEPARTMENT - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says thwarting the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea is critical to efforts to shore up the global non-proliferation regime. In an address in Washington, she said a new nuclear arms reduction agreement with Russia and Senate ratification of the test-ban treaty would demonstrate U.S. leadership on the issue. Clinton used the policy address, to the U.S. Institute of Peace, to reaffirm the administration’s commitment to the goal declared by President Obama last April in Prague of a world free of nuclear weapons.

It is now being reported that the Iranian Government has failed to pay Russia for the advanced S-300 surface-to-air missile systems that they ordered in 2005 . Russia is discussing canceling the contract and not delivering the hardware due to this non-payment . If it did the country would lose the $1 billion in contracted cost as well as the $400 million or so assessed in penalties. The only way to make up the end of this large contract would be to sell the systems to another country.

Chinese Carriers Not the West’s Biggest WorryThe following quote is from the China Military Report blog.

China’s anti-ship missile is based on the existing medium-range missiles developed specifically for use against U.S. aircraft carriers.

There is a dangerous pattern connecting the events happening in and around Pakistan today. Unless we can see this larger picture, we will be overwhelmed by the fallout and our detractors like the US will have fulfilled their agenda for this nuclear capable country. The roots of this US agenda go back to Musharraf’s hasty embrace of the US “war on terror”. What was not realised at the time was the psychological trauma the US had undergone as a result of 9/11, which had led to the bolstering of the already suspicion-tinted view the US had of the Muslim world.
