Iran To Be Major Player On The Nuclear Stage

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

The Iranian government is going to become a major player on the global nuclear stage, which should be a concern to the United States and Israel. I shall do my best to look at this issue impartially and with an unvarnished view. Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has made brash statements in the world about wiping Israel and America off the map. He is also pursuing space endeavors, which can be used as a means to deploy catastrophic weaponry, which could level a nation.

As it stands, a fully nuclear Iranian government spells trouble for the Western world. I do not wish the people of Iran any harm, ill will or sadness, but as it stands, Ahmadinejad's views and that of those in his circle, pose a danger to the world. Ideally, these issues should be resolved without war, but sadly, due to Ahmadinejad's refusal to cooperate and America and Israel's appropriate refusal to be annihilated, this conflict has catastrophe written all over it, for all sides involved. If something is not productively and peacefully done, trouble is coming. The world cannot be allowed to deteriorate in this manner.

Iran Should Let The U.S. Hikers Go

The Iranian government detained three American hikers, who had wondered across the border, from neighboring Iraq. Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has accused the trio of spying for the United States, with the latter having denied the claim. The hikers and their families also assert they are not spies.

The Iranian government should let the hikers go, as keeping them imprisoned is not promoting a good image in the world, to those that may wish to visit Iran. It will scare off tourism.

Unless a government catches a foreign agent attempting to damage or overthrow the government, stealing government equipment, machinery, apparatus or technology, hacking into government computers, stealing physical government files or national secrets kept in any other format, to charge one with spying is inappropriate.

Iran Defiant In Face Of Sanctions

The government of Iran is being defiant in the face of international sanctions, regarding its illegal nuclear program, many worry is a ruse to develop weapons of mass destruction. The Iranian nuclear program is developing unimpeded at a rapid rate.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

The President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has made many disturbing proclamations, regarding wiping Israel and America off the map, using nuclear weaponry.

U.S. President Barack Obama

As a result, many nations do not want Iran to pursue nuclear ambitions, concerned about what it will become on the national stage. Added to these concerns is Ahmadinejad's Muslim extremist views. President Obama and many other heads of state are seeking sanctions against Iran, hoping to head off trouble before it takes root.

Iran Launches Worrying Satellites

The West is concerned about Iran's latest venture - launching satellites into orbit. Space exploration is fine for any nation that wishes it, but with the Iranian government's track record, of stating it shall annihilate America and Israel, among others, some are concerned, as the satellites can be used to deliver deadly nuclear weapons from space.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated their space program is peaceful, but people do not trust him, due to proclamations he has made in the past regarding obliterating the West.

Government calls Iran rocket launch "provocative act"

Wed Feb 3, 2010 1:40pm EST - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Iran's launch of a rocket capable of carrying a satellite was a "provocative act," a White House spokesman said on Wednesday...

"A launch like that is obviously a provocative act," Burton told reporters. "But the president believes that it is not too late for Iran to do the right thing -- come to the table with the international community and live up to its international obligations."

Iranian Prime Minister Threatens America Again

Iranian Prime Minister Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (left) and the Ayatollah (right)

Iran released a threat against American this morning, that sent Washington into crisis mode, deploying military ships and planes to the Persian Gulf. Iranian Prime Minister, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, promised a blow to "global arrogance" on February 11, 2010.

Why are you always provoking the U.S. government? Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should, especially when you are in a position where millions could die. Stop endangering the people of Iran. The threats of annihilation are not accomplishing anything, other than propelling nations further away from world peace.

U.S. President Barack Obama

It would be better if you made your point of view heard via productive dialog in prearranged diplomatic meetings. You never know, you may find common ground one day.

You have 70,000,000 people in your country (Iran). There is much you can accomplish. Find ways to be happy and productive within yourselves.

UPDATE 1-US missile test mimicking Iran strike fails

Mon Feb 1, 2010 2:59pm EST

WASHINGTON, Feb 1 (Reuters) - A U.S. attempt to shoot down a ballistic missile mimicking an attack from Iran failed after a malfunction in a radar built by Raytheon Co (RTN.N), the Defense Department said.

The abortive test over the Pacific Ocean coincided with a Pentagon report that Iran had expanded its ballistic missile capabilities and posed a "significant" threat to U.S. and allied forces in the Middle East region.

The Missile Defense Agency said that in Sunday's test both the target missile, fired from Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands, and the interceptor, from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, had performed normally.

"However, the Sea-Based X-band radar did not perform as expected," the agency said on its web site. Officials will investigate the cause of the failure to intercept, it said.

The SBX radar is a major component of the ground-based midcourse defense, the sole U.S. bulwark against long-range missiles that could be tipped with chemical, biological or nuclear warheads.

It was the first time the United States had tested its long-range defense against a simulated Iranian attack.

Iran Evasive Regarding Nuclear Enrichment

"What's the point of nuclear talks if Iran won't talk about their program?"- RT

The rogue government that is Iran, is once again being evasive regarding its nuclear enrichment plans and plants, causing alarm all over the world.

Several countries publicly and privately, conducted conferences in a bid at gaining some clarity, regarding Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's intentions and threats, as he has not been forthright during nuclear talks with other nations.

He is playing a dangerous game and one that for the sake of the world, needs to desist. Incendiary speeches about annihilating Israel and America, have only served to stoke world anger.
