Hey sport, then why aren't you in Teheran licking your beloved mullahs b** then? What are you doing in the infidel Melbourne and why are you using the infidel (US based, unfortunately) internet anyway?

I was always bewildered by mullah's fanatics arrogance (and ignorance), there is currently a slightly reduced chance they might not end up as Iraq or Syria (but by no means certain, seriously doubt anything will come out of this negotiation thing) and suddenly they see themselves as some superpower! Sorry, but a country led by a bunch of power hungry islamist fanatics who think the world is 6000 years old (and force their citizens to believe and live by the same rubbish) can not be a superpower, not only they don't have the manpower (just 80 million) but 21st century industry and technology (real technology, not the mock-ups and pitiful improvisations one can see from Iran on a regular basis) is beyond the comprehension of religious fanatics. They can live in their little world where they are oh so powerful, but if they hope their mahdi or whatever it's called will come on a magic carpet and start shooting lightnings out of his ass to bring down the US missiles that might be raining on Iran one day, they will have a rude surprise. I would believe any day what folks like Babak T have to say about the real situation in Iran (which i could sum it up as basically Iran's grotesque military establishment- split in two, IRGC army/navy/airforce and regular army/navy/airforce that is "supervised" at every step by IRGC- and military "industry" are nothing but paper tigers) rather than some mullah fanatics.

Hell it's probably Russia and China who prevented them becoming another Iraq or Syria or Libya all these years, in fact as i read somewhere Russia did offer way back in 2007 to settle this enrichment thing by having it processed in Russia (in exchange for increase military cooperation with Iran including delivery of SAMs and other things), but of course the mullah monkeys refused it. Even if there is some sort of deal to be signed (doubtful) quite likely they will end up with a worse deal than offered by Russia way back.

As I said you before, I have no confidence into Rouhani, I prefer the very courageous Ahmadinedjad. For me Ahmadinedjad, as Chavez, and Putin are among  the top hero in our contemporary history. Rouhani is seraglio, then, the oligarchs.

The likes of a monkey like Ahmadinejad (simply a mullah servant) do not deserve the honour of being mentioned next to Putin or even Chavez.

A big thank you to both the hillbilly and their illegitimate daddy's the zionists and lets not forget the Russians too for the sanctions.

All these jokers were forced to negotiate because of Iran being ascendant, all on its own.

By ascendant you mean......begging Russia to buy its oil due to being embargoed from the rest of the world?

Iran is pretty far down on the list of "prospering" nations.

Ohh our "intelligent" TR1 makes same rhetoric dumb claims as US does his host of education.

"Rest of the world" so how are bunch of uncivilized countries that do not exceed 1/7th of the world to the entire world?

Iran is pretty high on prospering nations, it is among the leading nations when it comes to become self sufficient and independend, while your "rest of the world" countries relly on almost everything from other countries and don't even try to becoming independend.


Phaahaha, rest of the world. You listen to much to Jen Psaki or John Kohn.

"Iran is pretty high on prospering nations, it is among the leading nations when it comes to become self sufficient and independend, while your "rest of the world" countries relly on almost everything from other countries and don't even try to becoming independend."

Of course we have, you also define US as a moderate country while 90% of the earth define it as a terrorist country which it is. When you come out of the anglo-zionazi asshole you stuck in we can talk about reality.

Some are simply idiots, that imbecile also said Cuba is to blame for its bad economy...sanctions are no big deal, but at the same time this fool says sanctions for russia are serious, idiocracy american national treasure.

All these countries werewolf are quickly becoming irrelevant. You can hold someone back for so long only........as was the case with Iran.

Both the U.S. and zionists know very well that they will get their asses kicked all over the place if they made any wrong move against Iran.

It is because of the IRI leadership, Iran is in this position.

All these shitbilly/ zionist ass clowns will bend over for us, and you see that happening gradually.

Iran to Test Intercontinental Ballistic Missile in 2015 -
US Defense Agency



The US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has assessed that Iran will be capable of testing an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) this year, US Missile Defense Agency Director James Syring saidIran to Test Intercontinental Ballistic Missile in 2015 - US Defense Agency


The US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has assessed that Iran will be capable of testing an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) this year, US Missile Defense Agency Director James Syring said.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The US ground-based interceptors based in Fort Greely, Alaska and Vandenberg Air Force Base in California are sufficient to protect the United States homeland against “the future Iranian ICBM threat should it emerge,” Syring stated.



“The DIA’s assessment is that Iran is capable of flight-testing an ICBM in 2015,” Syring told members of the US Senate Armed Services Committee on Wednesday.

“There’s not a likelihood expressed with that assessment,” Syring said, adding that the DIA will further evaluate the likelihood of an Iranian flight test in an assessment it will conduct later in 2015.

The United States has 30 ground-based interceptors deployed on its West Coast, and will be adding an additional 14 by 2017.

The United States also has 33 Aegis warships with mobile ballistic missile defense capabilities, and will upgrade to 35 ships by the end of 2016, according to the Missile Defense Agency.

Iran is building a non-nuclear threat faster than experts 'would have ever imagined'



In just over two years, the Iranian government has managed to build up a sophisticated cyberarmy that experts now say is capable of crippling key global infrastructure.



"Five years ago, I would have never imagined Iran to be where they are today," cybersecurity expert David Kennedy, founder of information security firm TrustedSec, told Business Insider. "Iran was once considered a D-grade cyber threat. Now it's almost on the same level as Russia or China."

Iran has increased its cybersecurity spending 12-fold since President Hassan Rouhani assumed office in 2013, according to a report released Monday by British technology research firm Small Media. Vowing to ramp up the country's cyber capabilities, Rouhani has given the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) an annual cybersecurity budget of roughly $19.8 million.

While Iran's initial cyber efforts were focused on countering internal dissidence, the government put its cyber experts on the offensive after an American computer worm, Stuxnet, infiltrated Iranian government servers and ruined almost one-fifth of the country's nuclear centrifuges in June 2010.

By November 2010, the Basij Cyber Council had trained 1,500 cyber-warriors who, according to IRGC commander Hossein Hamedani, "have assumed their duties and will in the future carry out many operations," according to a report released in 2013 by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

“Out of any country on the planet, I can’t think of a country that has been more focused than Iran from the high levels of government on cyber, and that includes the United States,” Dmitri Alperovitch, co-founder of cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, told The Hill back in November.

And they'll only get better.


"In 10 years time, Iran's cyber capabilities will be more troubling than its nuclear program," geopolitical expert Ian Bremmer, president of the Eurasiaa group, tweeted earlier this week. He also noted that aggressive cyber operations by the US can be turned around on them by weaker adversaries.

The US government is now at a severe disadvantage when it comes to protecting the country's critical infrastructure from foreign hackers, especially given the current global political climate. The US' ongoing nuclear talks with Iran and its frosty relationship with Russia — a major Iranian ally — have made conditions ripe for Iran to try and use its cyber capabilities as negotiating leverage.

"Russia has probably helped Iran a lot in stepping up its cyber capabilities in the event of a conflict with NATO," Kennedy said. "If they [the Iranians] want to topple the US' financial sector, or cripple the military's ability to communicate, they can do that."

Kennedy noted that while Chinese and Russian hackers are typically motivated by competitive advantage or monetary gain, Iranian hackers are trained to infiltrate servers so that they can destroy them.

"Iran's cyber warriors ask themselves one question," Kennedy said. "Can I entrench myself in key sensitive areas and take the US down in the event of a conflict?"


Most likely, they can. Cyber security and hacking has become a booming industry in Iran — as a result, more and more Iranian students are choosing to study computer network defense, exploitation, and warfare in high school and college.

"At the Sharif University of Technology, which is like the MIT of Iran (Second only to university of Tehran*), students are participating in cyber 'capture-the-flag' games to hone their hacking skills," cyber-jihad expert Jeff Bardin, chief intelligence officer of cyber intelligence firm Treadstone 71, told Business Insider. "They compete to see who can find security holes and break through servers' encryptions and firewalls the fastest."

Colleges and universities in Iran also offer their students internships with notorious Iranian hacker groups, according to Bardin, who they then go on to work for after they graduate.

"It's all highly institutionalized," Bardin said. "The irony is that, after looking at some of the professors' resumes, you'll see that most of these cyber experts teaching students how to hack were initially trained in the US or UK."

First on CNN: Iranian aircraft buzzes Navy helicopter in Persian Gulf


CNN ^ | March 31, 2015 | Barbara Starr

Posted on ‎3‎/‎31‎/‎2015‎ ‎1‎:‎32‎:‎18‎ ‎PM by don-o

An Iranian military observation aircraft flew within 50 yards of an armed U.S. Navy helicopter over the Persian Gulf this month, sparking concern that top Iranian commanders might not be in full control of local forces, CNN has learned.

The incident, which has not been publicly disclosed, troubled U.S. military officials because the unsafe maneuver could have triggered a serious incident.

It also surprised U.S. commanders because in recent months Iranian forces have conducted exercises and operations in the region in a professional manner, one U.S. military official told CNN.

"We think this might have been locally ordered," the official said.

I called it.  First people they run to in order for investments are EU and US.  At least if the sanctions are lifted.  Maybe though, it isn't much to this other than an attempt to "bring to light" what benefits there are to lifting Iran sanctions.  This is possible.

I just hope it is not the 5th column that is pushing towards US despite that the entire West is against Iran with their onesided policy.

Iran has been approved as a founding member of Asian Infrastructure Bank

Shanghai (AFP) - Iran has been approved as a founding member of the Beijing-backed Asian Infrastructure Bank (AIIB), China's finance ministry said Tuesday, just days after Tehran sealed a historic framework agreement on its nuclear programme.


Tehran's application was backed by other founding members on Friday, China's Ministry of Finance said in a statement on its website. The United Arab Emirates' bid was also approved.

More than 50 countries, plus Taiwan, have now applied to join the bank in a diplomatic coup for Beijing after Washington initially opposed its allies becoming members.

The United States and its Asian ally Japan have not sought to join.

But US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said last week that Washington was "ready to welcome" the bank, though he added it should complement existing multilateral institutions such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

Iran's approval -- its application had not been previously announced -- comes immediately after the nuclear deal that China helped to broker.

Under the outline nuclear deal, the United States and the European Union are to lift all nuclear-related sanctions on Iran once the UN atomic agency has verified that Tehran has stuck to its terms.

The proposed limits will see Iran's stocks of highly enriched uranium cut by 98 percent for 15 years, while its unfinished Arak reactor will not produce weapons-grade plutonium.

There are concerns over transparency of the AIIB, which will fund infrastructure in Asia, as well as Beijing using it to push its own geopolitical and economic interests as a rising power.

Under President Xi Jinping, China is pushing to build on the ancient Silk Road trade routes on land and sea, through its "One Belt, One Road" initiative expected to be partly funded by the AIIB.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday met with Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei in Tehran.




The meeting was also attended by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, and high-ranking Turkish officials.

The Turkish head of state arrived in Tehran on Tuesday in an official visit made at the invitation of his Iranian counterpart.
Earlier this day, he held a meeting with Iran's President Hassan Rouhani, during which they conferred on several regional and economic issues.

Rouhani and Erdogan also held a joint press conference, and then attended a ceremony in which the two countries signed eight cooperation documents and a joint communique as part of efforts to boost the value of bilateral trade to $30 billion this year.

MEK leader to testify before Congress


"They're not on the foreign terrorist list now, and they should be treated as if they're not on the foreign terrorist list," said panel chairman Ted Poe, R-Texas, an Iran hawk and one of the top recipients of MEK-linked donations in recent years.

Other panel members backed the controversial decision to invite a group that has been tied to attacks against US business and diplomatic interests in Iran under the Shah. The MEK renounced violence in 2001.

"I'd be very surprised if leaders of [Ireland's] IRA or Sinn Fein haven't been involved in official congressional business over the past two decades," said Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif. "It's clear that the MEK has revealed things about the Iranian government and its nuclear program that no one revealed. I would say the MEK is a very valuable source of information, whether it's Fordow, whether it's the original nuclear program, etc. And so since they've been a good source of information about important matters, those are the kinds of people you listen to at a hearing."


The official went on to urge lawmakers to be wary of any claims that the NCRI — a group that fought alongside Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq War and has alleged ties to the CIA and Israel's Mossad — represents a viable Iranian opposition.

Poe said he had invited Rajavi to testify about the threats the Islamic State (IS) poses to MEK members who remain at Camp Liberty in Baghdad. The NCRI has accused Iranian-backed militias of ramping up rocket attacks against the refugee camp in recent weeks.

Although committees usually avoid asking non-US citizens to testify, Poe said it made sense to get Rajavi's perspective in this case.
