BREAKING - Iran Commander: "Military Ready to Fight US & UAE over Strait-of-Hormuz Islands". Warns US Carriers to Stay Away!!
Iran ground forces commander says military ready to intervene in dispute with UAE over contested islands

Gen. Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said Iranian forces are capable of confronting any offender against Iran's sovereignty over the strategic Abu Musa island in the Persian Gulf.

"We do not allow any country to carry out an invasion," Pourdastan said.

"If these disturbances are not solved through diplomacy, the military forces are ready to show the power of Iran to the offender.

Iran will strongly defend its right."

Illuminati NGO: The Washington Institute for Near Mid-East Policy

Fomenting regional conflict - all going according to plan.


The participation of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates in the Libyan conflict demonstrated the Gulf Cooperation Council's activism and capability.

In recent months, therefore, speculation has focused on possible GCC intervention in the Syrian civil war.

On February 27, Qatari prime minister Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani told the Friends of Syria conference in Tunis that "we should do whatever is necessary to help [Syrian oppositionists], including giving them weapons to defend themselves."

On March 31, Saudi foreign minister Saud al-Faisal echoed this statement: "The arming of the [Syrian] opposition is a duty."

A statement by the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council told Iran that any perceived aggression against the UAE is considered an affront to the entire bloc, which includes Iran's main regional rival Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, Iran's official news agency IRNA reported Tuesday on plans to turn Abu Musa into a tourist zone.

Tehran claims the Gulf islands have been part of states that flourished on the Iranian mainland from antiquity until the early 20th century.

The Emirates has for three decades contested the islands in a low key manner, but last year it turned to tougher diplomacy, protesting in the United Nations after Iran opened two offices on Abu Musa, the largest of the contested islands.

If they can't attack Iran under the pretext of WMD, they will find another way.

US backs UAE in islands row with Iran

The United States yesterday stepped into the dispute over the islands of Abu Musa and the Greater and Lesser Tunbs, with support for the UAE and a call for Iran to accept arbitration.

The State Department said it "appreciates the UAE's efforts in this regard and urges Iran to respond positively to the UAE's initiative to resolve the issue through direct negotiations, the International Court of Justice or another appropriate international forum".

The US is looking for any plausibly deniable reason to commence military action against Iran.

Funny how the UAE is only now trying to flex its muscles, yeah?

The exercises to intergrate the US and AL military coalition must have been somewhat successful.

Iran should end Abu Musa dispute immediately: UAE

Iran should come to the negotiation table and end the Abu Musa Island impasse at the earliest as the issue has serious ramifications on security of the region because 40 per cent of the world’s energy needs passes through this channel, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs said here today in Abu Dhabi.

Israel has once again demonstrated its readiness to launch a massive assault on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The Israeli Air Force is geared up and ready to strike as soon as the order is given, a major Israeli TV station reported.

A reporter from Israel’s Channel 10 TV station has spent several weeks interviewing pilots and other military personnel at an Israeli air base. Dozens of pilots are inspired with the prospect of Israel’s first full-scale air campaign in 30 years. Most of the interviewees spoke openly about the “year’s preparations” that are now almost over, as the country heads towards a hot and tense summer.

One of the most senior US naval commanders in the Gulf joined HMS Daring to see what Britain’s most advanced warship can do.

Rear Admiral Mike Shoemaker is in charge of two American Carrier Strike Groups – a dozen warships, over 100 aircraft and more than 12,000 souls – on patrol and visited the destroyer which has been working with the two potent task groups.

Iran Threatens Military Action Over Abu Musa

Abu Musa, which commands the vital Strait of Hormuz, has become the focal point of tension between Tehran and its GCC rivals


Iran's Revolutionary Guards and US Navy warships are both currently patrolling the narrow waterway, which Iran has threatened to close should Western pressure continue to mount.

The Bahrain-based US Fifth Fleet has said any attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz would be regarded as an "act of war."

Just posted my analysis on my thread, here it is.


Thread: World at War, Official 2012 Thread for Israel, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, PA, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, India, North Korea, Russia, China, U.S. (Page 75)

ANALYSIS:

Iran has promised Obamah that she would play nice with Israel and not do anything rash in relation to her nuclear program as long as the US stays away from various hot points and keeps Israel restrained. Further, iran does not want to confront Israel . . . yet. Meanwhile, Israel has started waking up to the fact that the US and Iran are conspiring for her demise and that Iran is to be allowed to become a nuclear power, thus Israel has began actions seen by Iran as imminent preparations for attack.

Concern over Israel, Iranian officials are now trying to raise rancor with Washington to do more to prove allegiance to the secret accords. To get the point across to Obamah, Iran has been taking provocative action to let Washington know she is in control of the Persian Gulf. This has raised the attention of the Gulf Council whom wishes to provoke action as Washington is not doing enough to keep Iran on a leash. Obahma is enfused between two counter forces (Obamah wants to prove allegiance to Iran, but he too cannot afford to lose the Gulf States, or can he???) The loss of oil in the mid-east is of interest for Obamah in collapsing the World Economy and at least the US economy to stop elections and lead to a one world government.

Further, Iran knows Washington's hands are tied and so she is willing to raise the heat at this moment in a non-nuclear issue way. She feels she can have a military confrontation with the Gulf States, keep it small, keep the US out of it and win. This will build Iranian support for its leaders and help promote the spread of the shiites theology.

So here we are, expect a confrontation, expect iran to dare the Gulf States to knock the chip off Iran's shoulder, and watch Obahma sit back and simply act like diplomacy will win out and at the same time the Gulf States would lose face. We have already lost Egypt as an ally, we lost Libya as a western State, we are soon to lose the Gulf States too.

TEHRAN, April 19 (Xinhua) -- The commander of Iran's army ground forces denounced a U.S. proposed plan to establish a missile shield in the Persian Gulf, local satellite Press TV reported on Thursday.

Commander Ahmad-Reza Pourdastan said the plan, aimed at countering alleged threats from Iran, will provide Washington with a pretext to maintain its "unlawful" presence in the region, according to the report.

On March 31, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held talks in Saudi Arabia about setting up the shield system.

There has been a lot of talk about that, be it a false flag or Obamaha letting Iran do it so that he can announce that he will remove all US assets from the Gulf and leave Iran to do what she wants. Honestly which is more likely? He does not care about US forces. Obamah has let Iran do what she wants. He does not want war with Iran. He wants a home-grown race-war if anything.

Its all staged. He wants to look like he is the peace dove now.

However, once an attack goes down on US assets, he will pull out all stops and counter hard so he doesn't look like a pussy.

All will happen before the elections which would then guarantee his re-election.
