Iran "war" has started

www.truthdig.com...

Despite Iran being no threat to anyone despite they are not breaking any international laws .
Wanting to sell Oil in Euros is a step too far

Mod edit: Removed "News Flash" from title as it's more figuratively speaking.

Um, a figgen little? I flipped thru all the news channels on TV before opening the thread.

You (OP) should really change the title. With the current state of world affairs, Iran war has started * NEWS Flash * is just plain wrong.

I don't see how it's misleading.
Honestly, a lot of people wouldn't consider funneling money into covert-ops as an actual secret war.

Misleading?

It is an outright distortion of an article which is itself a distortion on the edge of bursting from the strain of being stretched so far.

No war today, nothing to see here! Move along, just move along.


Here is a suggestion to make this site better. A button to label the thread with a picture of a boy crying wolf. If five people press the button, the Icon goes on the link to the thread.

you also know that all of this covert-ops money being funneled to resistance groups in Iran was covered slightly by the MSM

This should be locked or shut down. At least change the title. No war with Iran as started. There are enough lies being told on this forum without adding to them with direct misleading.

It's interesting how people are jumping to the conclusion that the USA in Iran are "at war". If you set proxy war, it might be a little more accurate except that that's been going on since 1979. However, the current situation is that Iran and the United States are now officially engaged in high-level diplomatic talks to resolve the one issue that is the true source of conflict. Iraq.

After operation Ajax in the 1950s and the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s were Iranians suffered casualties in the millions! Iran wants security on its western border since Mesopotamia is the only land route capable of supporting an invasion. To facilitate this, Iran sought to undermine Iraqi government through subversion following the 2003 United States led invasion of Iraq. With the troops surge of 2007, those plans were thwarted and Iraqi government and the US position in Iraq were firmly solidified. The cost to the United States is a sustained presence in Iraq with a posture that does not threaten Iran. That will allow the Iranians to back off their support for the insurgency.

That's what all this is about. All of this other talk of oil for euros or enrichment of nuclear material, Death to Israel or threatening shipping in the Persian Gulf is all a sideshow. Chances are better than average that a direct conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran is avoidable. Otherwise, violence in Iraq would skyrocket back to 2007 levels and Israel would not be publicly advertising the method in which they intended to attack.

Be careful what you wish for!
