Iranian Regime Launches Ballistic Missiles

According to this ABC News article, the evil Iranian regime is reported to have launched several ballistic missiles on Tuesday, during a military exercise.

The same News outlet goes on to quote the Iranian news agency IRNA which reported that the regime launched the missiles from a Silos in several locations throughout the Iranian state. 

The explanation given by the Iranian regimes was to demonstrate "deterrence power" and the terror regime readiness to confront outside threat. Their State TV proceeded in showing footage of the entire operation with the missiles in underground silos alongside flashes of light from nighttime launches.

This, of course should put into question the Obama administration insistence on breaking a bad deal with this regime who has no intention of halting their nuclear bomb activity. This recent test was probably test the readiness of their launching pads and silos so that when their nuke war head is ready, they will already have proper launching pad ready to go to launch war heads.

Obama Administration behind Anti-Netanyahu Campaign

-----------------------------------------

I'm very sad to hear that U.S president, Barack Obama has now officially gone nuclear on Netanyahu by green-lighting a political campaign to defeat the sitting Israeli Prime Minister in the upcoming general election.

From my understanding of the situation, the Obama administration has come to the conclusion that the only way they will eventually force a Palestinian State down the throat of the Israeli is by defeating Netanyahu. Not only that but all opposition for a weak deal with Iran would disappear if Netanyahu were to lose the upcoming election in Israel. A more leftist Israeli Prime Minister would be much more open to accept a nuclear armed Iran in exchange for a containment policy which I believe would be outright dangerous.

V15, The group who's spearing the anti-Netanyahu campaign had reportedly hired a consulting firm named '270 strategies' whose senior leadership includes mainly former top advisers and staff on President Obama 2012 re-election campaign. That, of course has created a stir in Israel about the Obama administration trying to influence the election in favor of a candidate who would appeal more to him.

Netanyahu's Likud party has rightly accused the V15 group of being a front for Obama illegal activities in Israel election and demanded that the Israel's Central Election Committee to ban V15 to protect the upcoming election integrity. Let's hope this group is outlaw by the committee so that there's no chance illegal funds coming from the U.S and E.U get into the hands of this V15 Obama group.


On another front, it looks like the Obama administration are trying hard to get democrats to boycott Netanyahu march 3rd speech to congress. It sounds like Nancy Pelosi, the Minority leader is very angry Netanyahu is still planning to go ahead with his speech set for next month and reportedly lashed out at Ron Dermer, the Israeli Ambassador who was in the Capital to quell Democratic anger.

From my point of view, considering a nuclear Iran is a threat to the Jewish State, I'm completely fine with Netanyahu speech. Congressional leader and the American people deserve the right to hear the Israeli Prime Minister arguments against such a deal with Iran. The ramification are huge. According to media sources, the Obama administration will allow the Iranians to keep the majority of their centrifuges instead of their earlier position which demanded them to be dismantled. So Obama has backed down on many of his demands and appeased the Iranians. Such a deal will allow Iran to be within a month to complete a fully ready nuclear arsenal if they choose to make a run for it.

My hope is that democrats would put aside their partisan issues with GOP members and come together to oppose Obama on this. The Iranians are currently sitting on the State Department list of state sponsor of terrorist. Iran is funding Hezbollah, a terrorist organization. Iran is also funding Bashar Al Assad bloodshed in Syria plus their mischief in what's currently going on in Yemen. There's absolutely no reason not to unite in a bi-partisan manner in opposition to a bad nuclear deal that will allow terrorist to obtain nukes that would threaten us all.

Nuclear Talk With Iran Unlikely To Conclude By November

A final comprehensive and wide-ranging nuclear agreement with the 5+1 nations was unlikely to be finalized by the November 24th deadline, according to Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

According to the a report from the Parliamentary News Service, the Foreign Minister was quoted saying "if there's a general agreement on the various issues of the nuclear negotiations, there's still a need to discuss the details." Jarif proceeded by claiming the obvious which is that it is highly unlikely anything will conclude before the end of the four month span.

Iran and the P5+1 group of nations which basically comprises of France, China, Russia, U.K, U.S plus Germany were unsuccessful in reaching a deal after 16 days of talk in Viena in July and instead had agreed to a new November 24th deadline. U.S negotiators and Iran had met on August 7th hoping to inject momentum into the talk but it looks like this was in vein. 

Zarif continued in letting the world know it was the West who were hindering things and making it tough to successfully conclude the talks with a deal. Of course it is Iran who is dragging its feet and would like to keep as many centrifuge as possible so they could covertly keep up their work toward nuclear weapon capacity.

The Supreme Dictator, Ayatollah Ali Kameini, for his part, is supporting the nuclear negotiation as long as Iran is kept on course to having nuclear bombs. Meaning unless the West give in and allows Iran to keep most of its material, I doubt a deal can be broken between the nations negotiating on the issue.

Conclusion: The West should cease all these diplomacy and tell Iran it's either they give up their entire Nuclear material or more sanction will come bearing on top of them. The West should also let them know they have the right to bomb these facilities since Iran has continued to work toward the bomb as the negotiation is in process.

Iran bans women from watching World Cup Football and Volleyball

True to form, the ridiculous Iranian government in Tehran is attempting to bar Iranian women sports supporters from cheering on the nation's Football and volleyball team in public, alluding to concern over immorality as an excuse.

Last week, more than a dozen disappointed Iranian women and girls camped right outside Tehran's Azadi Stadium's closed gates. Their only demand to the regime was a chance to cheer on the Iranian Volleyball team during its game against Brazil. But because of the Iran's Islamic rule, these women were all banned from attending the match.

Whenever stories such as this one is brought up to the attention of people living in other countries, especially western countries, many raise their eyebrows in shock. How can such a thing be happening in any country.The sad part about all of this is that it was only Iranian women who were not allowed at the Brazil vs Iran Volleyball match while visiting Brazilian women were not only able to get in the stadium but sit comfortably next to men and cheer on the Brazilian Volleyball team.

Iranian sports fans in general are experiencing more obstacles than usual when it comes to watching the sports they love. Cinema owners had wished to organize screening for the current World Cup Football games but the commander of Iran's security service, General Ahmadi  Moghadam, declared right away that males and females would not be allowed to watch these football match in the same Cinema halls. After it was announced that the sexes would have to be separated, Cinema owners give up on their plans.

Iranian mother forgive and stop hanging of son's killer

In a frantic last minute change of heart, the life of a convicted murderer who was about to be hang was spared by the victim's mother. 7 years ago, Balal, the condemned man's name, was accused of stabbing to death 18 year old Abdollah Hosseinzadeh during a street fight in the small town of Royan. 

Because Iran is under strict Islamic Sharia law, the victim's parent were to decide and participate in the killer's punishment..ei, if by hanging, they had to push the chair on which he stood.

Fortunately, in Mr. Balal's case, something of rarity took place in public execution in Iran, a country that puts more people to death than any other countries apart from China. The victim's mother, approached the convict killer, slapped him in the face and then proceeded to forgive him for killing her son, thus sparing his life and end the execution.

The photos below taken by Arash Khamooshi of the semi-official  Isna news on Tuesday, shows a good depiction of what happened and what followed next after the man was dramatically pardoned.

Instead of pushing the chair which would had led to Mr. Balal hanging, the victim's mother decided to slap him and then forgave him.

Gulf States worried by Obama passivity on Syria

With Obama's reluctance to green light a military strike on Assad's assets in Syria, many Arab leaders in the Gulf have started questioning the U.S resolve in confronting Iran's nuclear ambition. If the Obama's Administration can not even show a bit of muscle against the Syrian dictator who is slaughtering his own people like they were sheeps, how can they expect him to deal with Iran who would be a much tougher opponent.

Of course, the Iranians are watching Obama's every movement in Syria with great interest and concerns since it could give them an idea of what to expect when it comes time to pivot and deal with Iran's nuclear sprint toward the bomb. Now that the prospect for military strike against Assad is vanishing, the Iranians have good cause to celebrate since it hints at a lack of resolve and strength to deal with tyrants when they misbehave.

The Jerusalem-Post recent article "Gulf States question US resolve on Iran", seems to suggest growing anxiety among the Gulf Arab Monarchies Kingdom concerning The Obama Administration handling of Syria. It is obvious to them that a weaken Assad equals a weaken Iran, thus their support for military action against Assad, but it doesn't look like Obama is listening much. Instead, it looks like he's come to an agreement with the Russian that would exclude a military strike against Assad...Of course, we all know the Russian main goal is to protect Assad and prevent his Dictatorship from collapsing under hundreds of U.S ballistic missiles who'd be falling on Assad's men like billions of  acid rain drops.

Hassan Rouhani wins election BUT....

Hassan Rouhani, a little known cleric who worked under former president Katami administration has been declared the winner of Iran's election BUT he will of course have no power to change a thing since the supreme dictator holds all the power on all important matters.

Nevertheless, it should be interesting to see how Rouhani goes about serving the interest of those who voted for him and the more hard-line radicals who did not vote for him but still control most of the political power in the Islamic Republic.

I must say that I was surprised the hard-liners did not rigg the election to make sure no moderate like Rouhani wins...It appears they lost so much legitimacy after the 2009 election that they had to do something to try to regain the people confidence in the political system.
